Eucharist
The Gospel according to John 6:51, 55-56
I am the living living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1323, 1324
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… For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself.
