Paragraph 3. THE CHURCH IS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC
859
Jesus unites them to the mission he received from the Father. As “the Son
can do nothing of his own accord,” but receives everything from the Father
who sent him, so those whom Jesus sends can do nothing apart from
him,371 from whom they received both the mandate for their mission and
the power to carry it out. Christ’s apostles knew that they were called by God
as “ministers of a new covenant,” “servants of God,”
“ambassadors for Christ,” “servants of Christ and stewards of
the mysteries of God.”372
