III. The Eucharist in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1336
The first announcement of the Eucharist divided the disciples, just as the
announcement of the Passion scandalized them: “This is a hard saying; who
can listen to it?”¹⁵⁸ The Eucharist and the Cross are stumbling
blocks. It is the same mystery and it never ceases to be an occasion of
division. “Will you also go away?”:¹⁵⁹ The Lord’s question
echoes through the ages, as a loving invitation to discover that only he has
“the words of eternal life”¹⁶⁰ and that to receive in faith
the gift of his Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself.
