VI. The Paschal Banquet
1391
Holy Communion augments our union with Christ. the principal fruit of receiving
the Eucharist in Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ Jesus. Indeed,
the Lord said: “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and
I in him.”223 Life in Christ has its foundation in the Eucharistic
banquet: “As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father,
so he who eats me will live because of me.”224
