Summary/Abstract: The Eucharist, sacrament par excellence of unity and communion inthe Church. The Eucharist is Christ's sacrament of the most complete andeffective work in the Church and, through it, in the world. The holy Eucharistachieves a plenary communion which pierces all dimensions of ecclesial life.The Eucharist is at the same time sacrament and true sacrifice, turning thesacrifice on the cross into something permanent, but bloodless, in a mysteriousand, yet, real state.The Liturgy is the central place where the Eucharist is accomplished,achieving the communion and fraternity with Christ and with each other. Theholy Liturgy is a permanent epiphany of the Holy Trinity, a sacred laboratoryin which a live changing event takes place between Divinity and humanity. It ishere where the upmost and sublime spiritual connection of Christ with itsChurch and believers with Him and each other is achieved.
