The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ Jesus Himself. The Church is the Universal Sacrament of Salvation. The word ‘church’ means ‘assembly’. It describes that place where the Light of Christ shines out visibly. In the liturgical assembly we are gathered together by the Word of God and the Sacraments to form the People of God. This people, nourished by the Word, and by the Body of Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, themselves become the Body of Christ.
