The Church, Sacrament of Mercy

Ireneusz S. Ledwoń



Abstract

The article deals with an issue of the Church being a sacrament of mercy. According to the Second Vatican Council, the Church, being a sacrament of salvation, is one only in Christ and in connection with Him. The Church's mission to the world is to communicate Christ already present in it through His grace and words; that is to unite the whole humanity with Christ. Not only does the Church show Christ's revelation of God’s charity, but also it is the Church of Christ himself as long as it remains the sign of that charity. Giving the testimony of the charity is the obligation of both the whole Church and its each and every member.

Keywords:

Church, God's Mercy, nature of the Church, witness
