The Catechism of the Catholic Church states (1324) that all of the Sacraments are bound up and oriented towards the Eucharist. How can this be explained?

Martin Jude:
THE EUCHARIST - SOURCE AND SUMMIT OF ECCLESIAL LIFE
CCC 1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."136 "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."137
CCC 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 to the Father in the Holy Spirit."138
CCC 1326 Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all.139
CCC 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

All of the Sacraments bestow God’s grace upon us, but only 1 sacrament gives us Jesus Himself - that’s why it’s the central sacrament and core of our faith.
