SECTION TWO THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
1211
Following this analogy, the first chapter will expound the three sacraments of
Christian initiation; the second, the sacraments of healing; and the third, the
sacraments at the service of communion and the mission of the faithful. This
order, while not the only one possible, does allow one to see that the
sacraments form an organic whole in which each particular sacrament has its own
vital place. In this organic whole, the Eucharist occupies a unique place as
the “Sacrament of sacraments”: “all the other sacraments are
ordered to it as to their end.”2
