“Episcopal consecration confers, together with the office of sanctifying,
also the offices of teaching and ruling…. In fact … by the imposition of
hands and through the words of the consecration, the grace of the Holy Spirit
is given, and a sacred character is impressed in such wise that bishops, in an
eminent and visible manner, take the place of Christ himself, teacher,
shepherd, and priest, and act as his representative (in Eius persona
agant).”37 “By virtue, therefore, of the Holy Spirit who has
been given to them, bishops have been constituted true and authentic teachers
of the faith and have been made pontiffs and pastors.”38

The resurrection of all the dead, “of both the just and the
unjust,”621 will precede the Last Judgment. This will be “the
hour when all who are in the tombs will hear [the Son of man’s] voice and come
forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who
have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.”622 Then Christ
will come “in his glory, and all the angels with him …. Before him will
be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his
right hand, but the goats at the left…. and they will go away into eternal
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”623

The epiclesis is also a prayer for the full effect of the assembly’s communion
with the mystery of Christ. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the
love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit”28 have to
remain with us always and bear fruit beyond the Eucharistic celebration. the
Church therefore asks the Father to send the Holy Spirit to make the lives of
the faithful a living sacrifice to God by their spiritual transformation into
the image of Christ, by concern for the Church’s unity, and by taking part in
her mission through the witness and service of charity.

“Mary’s function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this
unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed
Virgin’s salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of
the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws
all its power from it.”511 “No creature could ever be counted
along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of
Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as
the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so
also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives
rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one
source.”512

The mystery of Christ’s resurrection is a real event, with manifestations that
were historically verified, as the New Testament bears witness. In about A.D.
56 St. Paul could already write to the Corinthians: “I delivered to you as
of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in
accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on
the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to
Cephas, then to the Twelve. . .”490 The Apostle speaks here of the
living tradition of the Resurrection which he had learned after his conversion
at the gates of Damascus.491

The divine blessings were made manifest in astonishing and saving events: the
birth of Isaac, the escape from Egypt (Passover and Exodus), the gift of the
promised land, the election of David, the presence of God in the Temple, the
purifying exile, and return of a “small remnant.” the Law, the
Prophets, and the Psalms, interwoven in the liturgy of the Chosen People,
recall these divine blessings and at the same time respond to them with
blessings of praise and thanksgiving.

All men are implicated in Adam’s sin, as St. Paul affirms: “By one man’s
disobedience many (that is, all men) were made sinners”: “sin came
into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to
all men because all men sinned.”289 The Apostle contrasts the
universality of sin and death with the universality of salvation in Christ.
“Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man’s
act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men.”290
