"The Church from the Eucharist." Fourteenth and final encyclical letter of John Paul II. Promulgated on April 17, 2003, Holy Thursday. It delves into the relationship between the Eucharist and the Church, highlighting its importance as the source and summit of Christian life. It emphasizes the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and its role in the unity and sanctification of the Church.
The Pope sought to reaffirm the Church's traditional teaching on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, in the face of modernist tendencies and liturgical abuses that had arisen after the Second Vatican Council. He also sought to strengthen Eucharistic devotion in an increasingly secularized world.
