The entire Church participates in the priestly anointing of Christ in the Holy Spirit. In the Church, in fact, 'all the faithful form a holy and royal priesthood, offer spiritual sacrifices through Jesus Christ and proclaim the greatness of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (c. 1 Pet 2:5.9).' In Christ, his entire Mystical Body is united to the Father through the Holy Spirit for the Salvation of all men. However, the Church cannot carry out this mission alone: all of her work intrinsically needs communion with Christ, the Head of his Body. Indissolubly united to her Lord, she continuously receives from Him the effects of grace and truth, of guidance and support so that she may be for all and for each one 'a sign and instrument, that is, of communication with God and of unity among all men.
