“Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon form God’s mercy for the offense committed against him, and are at the same time reconciled with the Church…” CCC 1422

The Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life, the Lord’s own sacrifice. In the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church namely, Christ himself. It is communion in the divine life. It is the culmination both of God’s action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship offered to Christ. It is the sum and summary of our faith. Eucharist completes the Christian Initiation.
