V. The Sacramental Sacrifice Thanksgiving, Memorial, Presence
This wholly redeemed city, the assembly and society of the saints, is
offered to God as a universal sacrifice by the high priest who in the form of a
slave went so far as to offer himself for us in his Passion, to make us the
Body of so great a head…. Such is the sacrifice of Christians: “we who
are many are one Body in Christ” the Church continues to reproduce this
sacrifice in the sacrament of the altar so well-known to believers wherein it
is evident to them that in what she offers she herself is offered.194
