About the book >.>.> The proclamation of Jesus Christ ‘who was put to death for our sins and raised to life to justify us’ (Romans 4:25) is at the centre of the Church’s life. The mystery of the Lord’s death and resurrection gives power to all of the Church’s activity. ‘For it was from the side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth the sublime sacrament of the whole Church. The Church’s liturgical and sacramental life and proclamation of the Gospel make this mystery present in the life of the faithful. Through the sacraments of baptism confirmation and eucharist men and women are initiated into this mystery. ‘You have been taught that when we were baptized in Christ Jesus we were baptized into his death; in other words when we were baptized we went into the tomb with him and joined him in death so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glory we too might live a new life. If in union with Christ we have imitated his death we shall also imitate him in his resurrection’ (Romans 6/3 – 5 ) (SP)
