III. The Eucharist in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1335
The miracles of the multiplication of the loaves, when the Lord says the
blessing, breaks and distributes the loaves through his disciples to feed the
multitude, prefigure the superabundance of this unique bread of his
Eucharist.¹⁵⁶ The sign of water turned into wine at Cana already
announces the Hour of Jesus’ glorification. It makes manifest the fulfillment
of the wedding feast in the Father’s kingdom, where the faithful will drink the
new wine that has become the Blood of Christ.¹⁵⁷
