VII. The Eucharist – “Pledge of the Glory To Come”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1402
In an ancient prayer the Church acclaims the mystery of the Eucharist: “O
sacred banquet in which Christ is received as food, the memory of his Passion
is renewed, the soul is filled with grace and a pledge of the life to come is
given to us.” If the Eucharist is the memorial of the Passover of the Lord
Jesus, if by our communion at the altar we are filled “with every heavenly
blessing and grace,”²³⁹ then the Eucharist is also an anticipation
of the heavenly glory.
