Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

776
As sacrament, the Church is Christ’s instrument. “She is taken up by him
also as the instrument for the salvation of all,” “the universal
sacrament of salvation,” by which Christ is “at once manifesting and
actualizing the mystery of God’s love for men.”¹⁹⁹ The Church
“is the visible plan of God’s love for humanity,” because God desires
“that the whole human race may become one People of God, form one Body of
Christ, and be built up into one temple of the Holy Spirit.”²⁰⁰
