I. The Christian’s Last Passover

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1683
The Church who, as Mother, has borne the Christian sacramentally in her womb
during his earthly pilgrimage, accompanies him at his journey’s end, in order
to surrender him “into the Father’s hands.” She offers to the Father,
in Christ, the child of his grace, and she commits to the earth, in hope, the
seed of the body that will rise in glory.¹⁸⁴ This offering is fully
celebrated in the Eucharistic sacrifice; the blessings before and after Mass
are sacramentals.
