In her celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice, the Church learns to offer herself as a sacrifice in conformation to Christ, and so the Church is herself a 'sacrament' (sacramentum), a sacred sign, of the invisible sacrifice of the 'whole Christ' (totus Christus) offered in the daily sacrifice of Christians. cache/6395w66527m.txt txt/6395w66527m.txt
