The Church was made manifest to the world on the day of Pentecost by the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.1 The gift of the Spirit ushers in a new
era in the “dispensation of the mystery” the age of the Church,
during which Christ manifests, makes present, and communicates his work of
salvation

After Elijah had learned mercy during his retreat at the Wadi Cherith, he
teaches the widow of Zarephath to believe in the Word of God and confirms her
faith by his urgent prayer: God brings the widow’s child back to
life.33 The sacrifice on Mount Carmel is a decisive test for the faith
of the People of God. In response to Elijah’s plea, “Answer me, O LORD,
answer me,” the Lord’s fire consumes the holocaust, at the time of the
evening oblation. the Eastern liturgies repeat Elijah’s plea in the Eucharistic
epiclesis.
Finally, taking the desert road that leads to the place where the living and
true God reveals himself to his people, Elijah, like Moses before him, hides
“in a cleft of he rock” until the mysterious presence of God has
passed by.34 But only on the mountain of the Transfiguration will Moses
and Elijah behold the unveiled face of him whom they sought; “the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God [shines] in the face of Christ,”
crucified and risen.35

The Council of Trent emphasizes the unique character of Christ’s sacrifice as
“the source of eternal salvation”449 and teaches that
“his most holy Passion on the wood of the cross merited justification for
us.”450 and the Church venerates his cross as she sings:
“Hail, O Cross, our only hope.”451

Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that
will shake the faith of many believers.573 The persecution that
accompanies her pilgrimage on earth574 will unveil the “mystery of
iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent
solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. the supreme
religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man
glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the
flesh.575

1320 The essential rite of
Confirmation is anointing the forehead of the baptized with sacred chrism (in
the East other sense-organs as well), together with the laying on of the
minister’s hand and the words: “Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus
Sancti” (Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.) in the Roman Rite,
or “The seal of the gift that is the Holy Spirit” in the Byzantine
rite.
