JOHN 20: 21 John 20:19-21 NASB 1995
So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,
 Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be with you.” And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and 
His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, 
I also send you.”

JOHN 6: 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; 
and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

JOHN 6: 56 56 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living 
Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 
58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died; the one who eats 
this bread will live forever.”

CCC 1323 "At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice
 of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, 
a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.'"

CCC 1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and 
works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole 
spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."

CCC 1364 In the New Testament, the memorial takes on new meaning. When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's Passover, 
and it is made present the sacrifice Christ offered once for all on the cross remains ever present. "As often as the sacrifice of the Cross by 
which 'Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed' is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out."

CCC 1382 The Mass is at the same time, and inseparably, the sacrificial memorial in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated and the 
sacred banquet of communion with the Lord's body and blood. But the celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice is wholly directed toward the
intimate union of the faithful with Christ through communion. To receive communion is to receive Christ himself who has offered himself for us.

CCC 1391 Holy Communion augments our union with Christ. The principal fruit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion is an intimate union 
with Christ Jesus. Indeed, the Lord said: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him." Life in Christ has its 
foundation in the Eucharistic banquet: "As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because 
of me." On the feasts of the Lord, when the faithful receive the Body of the Son, they proclaim to one another the Good News that the first 
fruits of life have been given, as when the angel said to Mary Magdalene, "Christ is risen!" Now too are life and resurrection conferred 
on whoever receives Christ.
EVANGELII GAUDIUM  PARA 3, 47

PARA 3 :. I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of
you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord”.[1]

PARA 47 :  This is especially 
true of the sacrament which is itself “the door”: baptism. The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine 
and nourishment for the weak.[51] These convictions have pastoral consequences that we are called to consider with prudence and boldness. Frequently, we act as arbiters of grace
 rather than its facilitators. But the Church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the Father, where there is a place for everyone, with all their problems.


JOHN 12: 24-29 24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 The one who loves his 
[a]life loses it, and the one who hates his [b]life in this world will keep it [c]to eternal life. 26 If anyone [d]serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant 
will be also; if anyone [e]serves Me, the Father will honor him.

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [a]life as a ransom for many.”
