"The Eucharist is the summit towards which all the other sacraments lead in the spiritual growth of each of the faithful and the whole body of the Church. Thus Vatican II affirmed that the Eucharist is the source and the summit of Christian life, the center of all the Church's life. All the other sacraments and all the works of the Church are directed towards the Eucharist because their aim is to lead the faithful to union with Christ, present in this sacrament." (Angel Garcia Ibañez)
