Catechism Paragraph

¶ 1997

Grace is a Participation in the Life of God. It introduces us into the intimacy of Trinitarian life: by Baptism the Christian participates in the grace of Christ, the Head of his Body. As an "adopted Son" he can henceForth call God "Father," in Union with the only Son. He Receives the life of the Spirit who breathes Charity into him and who forms the Church.
