The Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Eucharist celebrated in Mass as the "source and summit of the Christian life" (1324).
The Church's greatest sacrament, the source and summit of her worship, is the Eucharist.
The phrase "source and summit of the Christian life" refers to the Eucharist, and can be found in The Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium, no. 11. In paragraph 1324, The Catechism statesThe 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."REFERENCESLibreria Editrice Vaticana.

For me,it is the source and summit of all Christian life. In the Eucharist, the sanctifying action of God in our regard and our worship of him reach their high point. It contains the whole spiritual good of the Church, Christ himself. Communion with divine life and the unity of the People of God are both expressed and effected by the Eucharist. Through the eucharistic celebration we are united already with the liturgy of heaven and we have a foretaste of eternal life.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe central sacrament in Christianity is the most holy Eucharist, the "source and summit of the Christian life" (Vatican Council II). It is the sacrament to which all of the others tend and/or flow from. The Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ.

For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch" (Presbyterorum ordinis, no. 5).
Jesus made it because it is the source and summit of all Christian life. In the Eucharist, the sanctifying action of God in our regard and our worship of him reach their high point. It contains the whole spiritual good of the Church, Christ himself, our Pasch. Communion with divine life and the unity of the People of God are both expressed and effected by the Eucharist. Through the Eucharistic celebration we are united already with the liturgy of heaven and we have a foretaste of eternal life.
