The
Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The other
sacraments,
and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the
apostolate, are bound up
with the Eucharist and are oriented toward
it. For in the blessed Eucharist is
contained the whole spiritual good
of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.
