Paragraph 4. CHRIST’S FAITHFUL – HIERARCHY, LAITY, CONSECRATED LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

932
In the Church, which is like the sacrament – the sign and instrument – of God’s
own life, the consecrated life is seen as a special sign of the mystery of
redemption. To follow and imitate Christ more nearly and to manifest more
clearly his self-emptying is to be more deeply present to one’s contemporaries,
in the heart of Christ. For those who are on this “narrower” path
encourage their brethren by their example, and bear striking witness “that
the world cannot be transfigured and offered to God without the spirit of the
beatitudes.”⁴⁷⁵
