CCC 1327. "In brief, the Eucharist
is the sum and summary of our faith:
'Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist,and the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking.'
(St Irenaeus, Adv. haeres.4,18, 5: PG7/l, 1028.)

"The Mass is the greatest of all love songs.
It is our rendezvous with God, where
He comes to us joyfully and gladly. …
He comes to us joyfully and gladly. …
What has already begun through other kinds of prayer is now brought to fulfillment at
God and human beings are in communion. …
I am always especially joyful when I go to Communion, cognizant of the great mystery happening there. For me, the symbols of bread and wine dissolve and disappear into the reality of Christ’s Body and Blood.
I receive God in a mysterious way. He comes to me in order to be united with me. When I receive from the chalice, it is difficult for me to let go of it. The symbolism has vanished, and only the Blood of Christ remains. I want to hold on to it as long as I can."
