"Eucharist is one of the sacraments of initiation. “Christian initiation is accomplished by three sacraments together: Baptism which is the beginning of new life; Confirmation which is its strengthening; and the Eucharist which nourishes the disciple with Christ's Body and Blood for his transformation in Christ.”
- Catechism of the Catholic Church, article 1275
