The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the font from which all her power flows.
                     Sacrosanctum Concilium 10

As the work of Christ liturgy is also an action of his Church.  It makes the Church present and manifests her as the visible sign of the communion in Christ between God and men.  
    Catechism of the Catholic Church 1071 
 

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Christian life.  It requires our full, conscious, and active participation.  The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself.
