Lesson Vocabulary

Church: The community of disciples founded by Jesus that will exist until the end of time. The Church is at the same time human and divine. It is the gathering of God’s people on earth and it is the mystical Body of Christ. The Church is also the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who gives life to the Body of Christ and unites its members. (777, 779, 805, 809, 810)
Sanctify: To make holy.
Body of Christ: (n.): Another name for the Church. Just as a body has many parts, so too does the Church have many members. Each of us plays a specific and important role in the Body of Christ. Together we continue Christ’s work in the world as His hands and feet.
People of God: Another name for the Church. It describes how God has called us out to share His life with us, so that we can be His family, His sons and daughters. As the People of God, we are called to spread His name and do His works in the world.
