The Church is the Body of Jesus; she is Jesus living His life down through the centuries; she is life that is lived through the members, and these members are incorporated into Christ through grace, through the Eucharist and, generally speaking, through the sacraments. As St. Thomas has taught us, those of us who were imprinted with the sacramental character at Baptism participate in Christ’s priesthood; therefore we participate in our redemption because the priesthood functions for redemption. Thus we are sharers—co-sharers—in our redemption and in the redemption of humanity. (Charity)
