The Nature and Mission of Church
The Nature and Mission of Church
The sign of the father to us is the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Christ then is our First
Sacrament (Ur Sacrament) or the visible symbol of the Father to us. The church is the Fundamental Sacrament (Ground Sacrament) in which through, with, and in her, the work
of salvation of the Father, through Christ (the Son), guided by His Spirit, continues.
The Nature and Mission of Church
That is why the Church cannot sustain herself in existence without the practice or administration of what the Lord Jesus
Christ himself had started during his early life, i.e., preaching (teaching), sanctifying (healing), and governing
(way of life). And this became explicit when he boldly proclaimed that “He is the Way (Sacrament of Initiation), the Truth (Sacrament of Vocation), and the
Life (Sacrament of Healing).
The Nature and Mission of Church
The Church continues the work of God through Jesus Christ by imitating her founder. She shares the functions of
governance (governing office- Christ is our Way), preaching (teaching office-Christ is our Truth) and healing (sanctifying office-Christ is
our Life).
