Article 3 THE CHURCH, MOTHER AND TEACHER

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2030
It is in the Church, in communion with all the baptized, that the Christian fulfills
his vocation. From the Church he receives the Word of God containing the
teachings of “the law of Christ.”⁷² From the Church he
receives the grace of the sacraments that sustains him on the “way.”
From the Church he learns the example of holiness and recognizes its model and
source in the all-holy Virgin Mary; he discerns it in the authentic witness of
those who live it; he discovers it in the spiritual tradition and long history
of the saints who have gone before him and whom the liturgy celebrates in the
rhythms of the sanctoral cycle.
