VII. The Eucharist – “Pledge of the Glory To Come”
1405
There is no surer pledge or dearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens
and new earth “in which righteousness dwells,”245 than the
Eucharist. Every time this mystery is celebrated, “the work of our
redemption is carried on” and we “break the one bread that provides
the medicine of immortality, the antidote for death, and the food that makes us
live for ever in Jesus Christ.”246
