Baptism
"In baptizing, the Church reveals itself to itself and to the rest of the world primarily as a community, the Body of Christ, and only secondarily as an institution; the Church identifies itself with the sufferings and death of Christ and so points the way to a share in his resurrection and glorification; it shows itself a forgiving community and, at the same time, a community in need of forgiveness and its whole life is directed to the glory of God which is achieved in and through the humanization of the world. The Church which baptizes and is baptized has been given "a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit" and as such is a 'holy people anointed with the Chrism of salvation just as Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet, and King' unto everlasting life'! (Rite of Baptism) (pg. 816 Catholicism)
