The Second Vatican Council reminds us that the Holy Eucharist is the “source and summit” of the entire Christian Faith. In the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood we encounter the Real Presence of the Risen Lord who gives himself to us as food for our journey. Through our reception of the Holy Eucharist, we receive grace, healing, and the forgiveness of less serious sins. It also expresses our intimate connection with the wider Body of Christ that is the Church.
