     and here:
     I. The Eucharist - source and summit of ecclesial life
     1324 The Eucharist is "source and summit of Christian life." 136 "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of apostolate, are linked with the Eucharist and are oriented towards it. In the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Passover. "137
     1325 "The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through him the Father in the Holy Spirit. 138
     1326 Finally, for the Eucharistic celebration and join with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God is in all.139
     1327 In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith: "Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist and the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking." 140
     God bless.

   Here is a site below - the early church fathers speak of the Eucharist. I didn't read the whole site but it seems reliable. Good luck!
