Service: It is often said, “Service is the price we pay for the space we occupy.” To occupy a place at Christ’s table means Catholics must help one another, especially the least in our midst. Catholics must imitate Christ, who washed his disciples’ feet at the Last Supper and gave His life for all people on Calvary. Non-Catholics will find the Church believable especially when Catholics walk the road that Jesus walked—a way of obedience, simplicity, poverty, and self-sacrificing love, even unto death.

The Church as Body of Christ
The Body of Christ imagery for the Church was used by St. Paul. When Paul (who was also known as Saul before his conversion) was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, the Risen Lord appeared to him and asked, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? . . . I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9:4–5). St. Paul says in His letter to the Corinthians:

✠ More Descriptions of the Church
Just as a body has many parts yet all work together as one and no body part is more important than any other part, so is the Church as the Body of Christ.
In the body, the heart needs the brain to give instructions to the heart to pump blood. The brain also needs the heart to pump blood into the brain to give instructions... So the Church as the Body of Christ needs each other to function properly. Christ is the head, we are His body.

The Church as Temple of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit dwells in the Church, the Body of Christ, to give it life. He is present in the Risen Lord Jesus, the head of the Body of Christ, and in each individual member. The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church. He builds it up, gives the Church life, and makes each of us holy by uniting us to Christ Jesus. Because of the Spirit’s presence, we can call the Church the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
