Common arguments in support of the partaking of the divine nature being possible only through Eucharist
Upvote:1
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature":78 "For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God."79 "For the Son of God became man so that we might become God."80 "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods."81 CCC 460
"by entering into communion with the Word": since the Word is capitalized, it means the Eucharist.
I think this quote above explains it nicely. I encourage you to read the whole section.
