III. The Holy Spirit and the Church in the Liturgy

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1094
It is on this harmony of the two Testaments that the Paschal catechesis of the
Lord is built,¹⁵ and then, that of the Apostles and the Fathers of the
Church. This catechesis unveils what lay hidden under the letter of the Old
Testament: the mystery of Christ. It is called “typological” because
it reveals the newness of Christ on the basis of the “figures”
(types) which announce him in the deeds, words, and symbols of the first
covenant. By this re-reading in the Spirit of Truth, starting from Christ, the
figures are unveiled.¹⁶ Thus the flood and Noah’s ark prefigured
salvation by Baptism,¹⁷ as did the cloud and the crossing of the Red
Sea. Water from the rock was the figure of the spiritual gifts of Christ, and
manna in the desert prefigured the Eucharist, “the true bread from heaven.”¹⁸
