“ Our longing for the goal of unity prompts
us to turn to the Eucharist which is the supreme
sacrament of the unity of the people of god in as
much as it is the apt expression and the
unsurpassable source of
that unity ” (EdE
43).
“ Clearly, full
participation in the Eucharist takes place when
the faithful approach the altar in person to
receive communion ” (SC 55).
“ The centrality of
the Eucharist in the life and ministry of priests
is the basic of its centrality in the pastoral
promotion of priestly vocations ” (EdE
31).
