Q168 Why does the liturgy have priority in the life of the Church and of the individual?

“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” (Second Vatican Council, Sacrosanctum concilium 10). [1074]

Eucharist

During Jesus’ lifetime, multitudes of people flocked to him, because they were seeking his healing presence. Even today we can find him, for he lives in his Church. He assures us of his presence in two places: in service to the poor (Mt 25:40) and in the -> EUCHARIST. There we run directly into his arms. And when we let him get close to us, he teaches us, feeds us, transforms us, heals us, and becomes one with us in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
