First Communion

- Church

"Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both God's forgivness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accoplished liturgically by the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation." CCC 1440
"The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.' 'The other sacraments and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch'." CCC 1324
