Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 126 - Part IV.
(Youcat
answer - repeated) Above all through the sacraments of Baptism and Holy
Eucharist, an inseparable union comes about between Jesus Christ and
Christians. The union is so strong that it joins him and us like the head and
members of a human body and makes us one.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 792)
Christ "is the head of the body, the Church" (Col 1:18). He is the
principle of creation and redemption. Raised to the Father's glory, "in
everything he [is] preeminent" (Col 1:18), especially in the Church,
through whom he extends his reign over all things.
Reflecting and meditating
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 793) Christ unites us with his Passover: all
his members must strive to resemble him, "until Christ be formed" in
them (Gal 4:19). "For this reason we… are taken up into the mysteries of
his life, . . . associated with his sufferings as the body with its head,
suffering with him, that with him we may be glorified" (LG 7 § 4; cf. Phil
3:21; Rom 8:17).
