“The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed. At the same time, it is the fount from which all her power flows. The aim and object of apostolic works is that all who are children of God by faith and baptism should come together to praise God in the midst of his church, to take part in the sacrifice and to eat the Lord’s Supper….From the liturgy, therefore particularly from the Eucharist, grace is poured forth upon us as from a fountain; the liturgy is the source of achieving in the most effective way possible human sanctification and God’s glorification, the end to which all Church’s other activities are directed”. (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy 10)
