PART TWO: THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHRISTIAN MYSTERY
1067
“The wonderful works of God among the people of the Old Testament were but
a prelude to the work of Christ the Lord in redeeming mankind and giving
perfect glory to God. He accomplished this work principally by the Paschal
mystery of his blessed Passion, Resurrection from the dead, and glorious
Ascension, whereby ‘dying he destroyed our death, rising he restored our life.’
For it was from the side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the
cross that there came forth ‘the wondrous sacrament of the whole
Church.”‘3
