Catechism (paragraph number)	My own words
1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."
	The communion gives us life and is the high point of our experience of God
1324 "…For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."
	Christ himself is present in the communion
1325 "The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being.
	Our communion with Christ becomes real and living in the communion. It is also a sign to a watching world.
1326 By the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all
	The communion is a taste of heaven to come.
1365 Because it is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice. The sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution: "This is my body which is given for you" and "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood."
	In the communion we remember Christ’s death but also recreate his sacrifice again.
1365 "…In the Eucharist Christ gives us the very body which he gave up for us on the cross, the very blood which he "poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
	It is the actual body of Christ in the bread and actual blood in the wine.
