“The Holy Eucharist completes Christian Initiation… The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life’ (Lumen Gentium, Vatican Council II). The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it.” – Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324
