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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

The sign of the cross makes kings of all those reborn in Christ and the
anointing of the Holy Spirit consecrates them as priests, so that, apart from
the particular service of our ministry, all spiritual and rational Christians
are recognized as members of this royal race and sharers in Christ’s priestly
office. What, indeed, is as royal for a soul as to govern the body in obedience
to God? and what is as priestly as to dedicate a pure conscience to the Lord
and to offer the spotless offerings of devotion on the altar of the
heart?²¹⁴
