The Inseparable Mission of Christ and the Holy Spirit
The mission of Christ and the Holy Spirit is inherently linked, culminating in the Church, which serves as the body of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit. This reflects that the Church is not merely an addition to the mission of Christ but serves as its sacrament, making present the communion of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit prepares individuals to encounter Christ and makes the risen Lord manifest to believers, helping them understand His death and resurrection. Furthermore, the Spirit activates the graces of Jesus Christ, especially in the Eucharist, to reconcile believers and foster communion with God.
