Paragraph 2. THE CHURCH – PEOPLE OF GOD, BODY OF CHRIST, TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

787
From the beginning, Jesus associated his disciples with his own life, revealed
the mystery of the Kingdom to them, and gave them a share in his mission, joy,
and sufferings.²¹⁵ Jesus spoke of a still more intimate communion
between him and those who would follow him: “Abide in me, and I in you….
I am the vine, you are the branches.”²¹⁶ and he proclaimed a
mysterious and real communion between his own body and ours: “He who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.”²¹⁷
