The entirety of the Eucharistic Discourse from John 6:25-70 speaks of the necessity of having "his life" within us, and that is the very definition of sanctifying grace. especially verses like "Unless you ear my Flesh and drink my Blood, you cannot have life within you."
See especially 53-56:
"Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them." An outward sign, instituted by Christ to give grace. This is the definition of a Sacrament.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. So which is it? Eating gives you life or the Holy Spirit?
Jesus said the Spirit gives life.
