II. The Sacrament of Holy Orders in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1553
“In the name of the whole Church” does not mean that priests are the
delegates of the community. the prayer and offering of the Church are
inseparable from the prayer and offering of Christ, her head; it is always the
case that Christ worships in and through his Church. the whole Church, the Body
of Christ, prays and offers herself “through him, with him, in him,”
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to God the Father. the whole Body, caput et
membra, prays and offers itself, and therefore those who in the Body are
especially his ministers are called ministers not only of Christ, but also of
the Church. It is because the ministerial priesthood represents Christ that it
can represent the Church.
