II. Christ’s Work in the Liturgy

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1088
“To accomplish so great a work” – the dispensation or communication
of his work of salvation – “Christ is always present in his Church,
especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the Sacrifice of
the Mass not only in the person of his minister, ‘the same now offering,
through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,’
but especially in the Eucharistic species. By his power he is present in the
sacraments so that when anybody baptizes, it is really Christ himself who
baptizes. He is present in his word since it is he himself who speaks when the
holy Scriptures are read in the Church. Lastly, he is present when the Church
prays and sings, for he has promised ‘where two or three are gathered together
in my name there am I in the midst of them.”‘¹¹
