5. THE REAL NATURE OF THE TRUE
CHURCH
It is of the essence of the church to
be both human and divine Jesus
Christ is both human and divine

6. THE MYSTICAL BODY
OF CHRIST
Visible yet endowed with invisible resources.
The mystical body of Christ build up individual members
by enabling subordination of the human to the divine, the
visible to the Invisible, action to completion, and the world
to the kingdom of God.it was Christ in his divinity and
humanity who became the instrument of our salvation.

7. THE SAVING WORK OF CHRIST:
THE PASCHAL MYSTERY
The Passion, Death and Resurrection of
Christ.

8. THE DIVINE JUNCTION
This ability of the Church’s Sacred Liturgy to join
the Faithful with Christ is what gives the Church
power , making it the source of our spiritual lives.
Because in this sacred Time Christ is made fully
present to us and we are fully joined to him.

9. CONFORMITY TO CHRIST
Christ’s life is ever-pleasing to God the
Father. Christ, his best thought, his Word,
is the very recipient of all his love, the holy
spirit, by our conforming to Christ through
Sacred Liturgy we are perfectly glorifying
God and become holy.

10. PERFECT
GLORIFICATION
The church, the Bride of Christ, cleaves
and unites to him in the liturgy becoming
one Mystical Body of Christ- Christ who
always acts and offers perfect worship to
eternal Father.

11. THE FATHER’S WILL IS
DONE:
Liturgy belongs in the border of doing, not of knowing.
Logical thought cannot get far with it; liturgical actions
yield their intelligibility in their performance and this
performance takes place at the level of sensible
realities, not as exclusively material, but as vehicles
overtone capable awakening the mind and heart to
acceptance of realities belonging to a different order.

12. LITURGICAL
ACTION=CHRIST’S ACTION
In the liturgy by means of signs perceptible to
the senses, human sanctification is signified
and brought about in ways proper to each of
these signs; in the liturgy the whole public
worship is performed by the Mystical Body of
Christ, this is by the head and his members.

13. OUR UNITY WITH
CHRIST
Let us congratulate ourselves and give
thanks, that we have not only become
Christians, but Christ… be astonished,
rejoice, we become Christ; for when He is
the head, we the members, then the
whole man is He and we.

14. FOURFOLD PRESENCE
OF CHRIST
Priest – who sacramentally conforms himself to Christ
Eucharist – makes present his Body and Blood, Soul
and Divinity
Word – it is he himself who speaks
Assembly – where two or three are gathered in my
name, there I am in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20)

15. CHRIST THE PRIEST
Every liturgical celebration because it is the
action of Christ the Priest and of his Body which
is the Church, is a sacred action surpassing all
others; no other action of the church can equal
its effectiveness by the same title and to the
same degree.

16. THE SUMMIT AND
SOURCES
Christ as an end & means “ the liturgy is the
summit toward the activity of the church is
directed; at the same time it is the fount from
which all the church’s power flows.” “ the liturgy
is the source for achieving the most effective
way possible both human sanctification and
God’s Glorification.”

17. LITURGY
The ritual of illumination constrictive or expansive? Liturgy
is a precise model meant to effectuate a precise result; the
church and make present Christ. Liturgy is not be-all, end-
all of the Christian life; we still pray in private, we still must
undergo conversion, we still must go into the world and
bear witness. The elements of the Sacred Liturgy are
meant to challenge us, confound us, and call us out of
ourselves and our comfort zones.

18. THE PHYSICS OF
UNITY
In the Church’s liturgy the divine blessing is fully
revealed and communicated. The Father
acknowledged and adore as the source and the end of
all the blessings of creation and salvation. In his word
who became incarnate, died and rose for us, he fill us
with his blessings. Through his word, he pours into our
hearts the gift that contains all gifts, the Holy Spirit.” CCC
1082

19. THE UNIFIER
When the spirit encounters in us the
response of faith which he has arouse in us,
he brings about the genuine cooperation.
Through it, the liturgy becomes the common
work of the holy spirit and the Church. CCC
1091

20. THE LORD AND GIVER
OF LIFE
The work of Christ’s liturgy is an action of the
church with engages new life in the Faithful
through the working of the Holy Spirit. “ The
whole liturgical life of the Church revolves
around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the
sacraments.”CCC 1113

22. A sacrament is a sign that
commemorates what precedes it-
Christ’s Passion; demonstrates what is
accomplished in us through Christ’s
Passion- grace; & prefigures what the
passion pledges to us- future glory”

23. “Sacraments are efficacious sign of
grace, instituted by christ and
entrusted to the Church, by which
divine life id dispensed” CCC 1131

life that we may achieved our ultimate end-

Holy Trinity through membership in the
Mystical Body of Christ, the Son.
