Strengthened in Holy Communion

July 20
“It is through the sacraments and the exercise of the virtues that the sacred nature and organic structure of the priestly community is brought into operation… Taking part in the Eucharistic sacrifice, which is the fount and apex of the whole Christian life, they offer the Divine Victim to God, and offer themselves along with It. Thus both by reason of the offering and through Holy Communion all take part in this liturgical service, not indeed, all in the same way but each in that way which is proper to himself. Strengthened in Holy Communion by the Body of Christ, they then manifest in a concrete way that unity of the people of God which is suitably signified and wondrously brought about by this most august sacrament.
-Lumen Gentium, No. 11
Today’s Reflection:
Why do you think the Eucharist is the “fount and apex of the
whole Christian life”?
