The Year of Saint Paul

1 Cor 1:3-9

He will keep you firm to the end,
irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What Christ entrusted to the apostles, they in turn handed on by their preaching and writing, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to all generations, until Christ returns in glory. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 96)
The mission of the Holy Spirit in the liturgy of the church is to prepare the assembly to encounter Christ; to recall and manifest Christ to the faith of the assembly; to make the saving work of Christ present and active by his transforming power; and to make the gift of communion bear fruit in the church. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1112)
God has revealed himself fully by sending his own Son, in whom he has established his covenant for ever. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 73)
