Roman Catholic AnswerThe Eucharist is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord, Himself. There is nothing on earth that you could do or even imagine that would be more important than worthilyreceiving Him in the Eucharist while at Church. And nothing more deprimental to the health of your soul than receiving Him unworthily.

What were the effects of utilizing or not utlilzing the sacraments of a Catholic Church?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe sacraments are the normal way in which God gives sanctifying grace to His people. You can not receive any of the sacraments without Baptism. In the normal course of life, you can not receive salvation and enter heaven without baptism, penance, and Holy Communion as you go through your life. You don't exactly utilize them, you receive them as gracious gifts from the Almighty - if you receive them worthily. For instance St. Paul points out that receiving the Most Holy Eucharist unworthily is eating your own condemnation. To put it in one sentence, the effects of worthily receiving the sacraments is eternal life in heaven with God, the effect of not receiving the sacraments (or receiving them in an unworthy manner) is eternal torment in hell.
