II. The Sacraments of the Church
1118
The sacraments are “of the Church” in the double sense that they are
“by her” and “for her.” They are “by the Church,”
for she is the sacrament of Christ’s action at work in her through the mission
of the Holy Spirit. They are “for the Church” in the sense that “the
sacraments make the Church,”35 since they manifest and communicate
to men, above all in the Eucharist, the mystery of communion with the God who
is love, One in three persons.
