VII. The Grace of Baptism
1268
The baptized have become “living stones” to be “built into a
spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood.”73 By Baptism they share
in the priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal mission. They are
“a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that
[they] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [them] out of darkness
into his marvelous light.”74 Baptism gives a share in the common
priesthood of all believers.
