III. How is the Sacrament of Baptism Celebrated?

1244
First Holy Communion. Having become a child of God clothed with the wedding
garment, the neophyte is admitted “to the marriage supper of the
Lamb”⁴⁴ and receives the food of the new life, the body and blood
of Christ. the Eastern Churches maintain a lively awareness of the unity of
Christian initiation by giving Holy Communion to all the newly baptized and
confirmed, even little children, recalling the Lord’s words: “Let the
children come to me, do not hinder them.”⁴⁵ The Latin Church,
which reserves admission to Holy Communion to those who have attained the age
of reason, expresses the orientation of Baptism to the Eucharist by having the
newly baptized child brought to the altar for the praying of the Our Father.
