V. Viaticum, the Last Sacrament of the Christian

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1524
In addition to the Anointing of the Sick, the Church offers those who are about
to leave this life the Eucharist as viaticum. Communion in the body and blood
of Christ, received at this moment of “passing over” to the Father,
has a particular significance and importance. It is the seed of eternal life
and the power of resurrection, according to the words of the Lord: “He who
eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at
the last day.”¹⁴⁰ The sacrament of Christ once dead and now risen,
the Eucharist is here the sacrament of passing over from death to life, from this
world to the Father.¹⁴¹
