The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium, #11). In the Eucharistic liturgy and our prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, we encounter God’s presence in personal and profound ways. But the Eucharist is also social, as Pope Benedict XVI reminds us in Deus Caritas Est:
The Eucharist, celebrated as a community, teaches us about human dignity, calls us to the right relationship with God, ourselves and others, invites us to community and solidarity, and sends us on mission to help transform our communities, neighborhoods and world. Church teaching, rooted in both Scripture and Tradition, emphasizes both the personal and social natures of the Eucharist.

Bishop Soto has published a letter to all Catholics in the diocese offering suggestions how we can be "a hopeful and effective Sacrament of Christ in Northern California" during the Year of Faith proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI.
