Prior to placing faith in Christ, God the Father must draw us to Him, then He receives as we place faith in Him.
Without first being drawn to Him, the exercise is merely man made, an academic imagination.
Start by placing faith through Christ first, then consider the Eucharist.
Do not place faith first in the Church, then in what they provide to have access to God, but first in Christ, then in what God provides.
Do this in remembrance of Him. When we are doing this in remembrance of Him, we are exercising our mind, our soul.
When we think upon Him, His work at the Cross, and confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. We partake of the Eucharist while in fellowship with Him, not as a method of returning to fellowship, but the same process also occurs whenever we return to fellowship with Him.
Just as when we break bread and eat it, we are focusing on the Body being broken, namely our Lord Christ Jesus in the flesh, who gave Himself to be broken on the Cross and we consume, take part, focusing on accepting what He provided on the Cross, and intake from Him, the Bread of Life, being now part of the same Body.
Next we partake of the cup, the blood of sacrificial atonement for all sin by His death on the Cross, the New Covenant in His blood, his death on the Cross, which has paid the debt for sin, propitiated the wrath of God, and reconciled man to God.
We are not focused upon how His wrath is upon us, but how Christ and ONLY Christ has paid for that debt, such that we no longer are the object of His wrath.
While we are sinners, our perspective of God is facing His Perfect Justice, but in returning to fellowship with Him, our perspective is from the point of view of Perfect Righteousness,....through faith in Christ.
If we slip and approach Him as though we are guilty, fearing His wrath, we are not approaching Him from the perspective of faith in what Christ has already done on the Cross.
Of course, the Catechism re-affirms that
Prior to placing faith in Christ, God the Father must draw us to Him, then He receives as we place faith in Him.
And I quote:
"
Thefirst work of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conversion, effecting justification in accordance with Jesus' proclamation at the beginning of the Gospel: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Moved by grace, man turns toward God and away from sin, thus accepting forgiveness and righteousness from on high.
Justification detaches man from sin which contradicts the love of God, and purifies his heart of sin. Justification follows upon God's merciful initiative of offering forgiveness. It reconciles man with God. It frees from the enslavement to sin, and it heals.
Justification is at the same time the acceptance of God's righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. Righteousness (or "justice") here means the rectitude of divine love. With justification, faith, hope, and charity are poured into our hearts, and obedience to the divine will is granted us
Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ who offered himself on the cross as a living victim, holy and pleasing to God, and whose blood has become the instrument of atonement for the sins of all men. and
Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life
The preparation of man for the reception of grace is already a work of grace
The grace of Christ is the gratuitous gift that God makes to us of his own life, infused by the Holy Spirit into our soul to heal it of sin and to sanctify it. It is the sanctifying or deifying grace received in Baptism. It is in us the source of the work of sanctification
The Eucharist IS Christ's very words. Our faith is in Christ, who inaugurated the Eucharist -- remember this, the faith of The Church, Christ's Church is in Him, that is why we obey HIS words when we follow His teachings of the Eucharist.
Note -- these are exactly what He taught in John 6 -- we must follow His teaching.
