For Baptism makes it possible for us to share in Christ’s life.  Confirmation bestows on us his Holy Spirit to mould our characters in his own likeness.  And in Communion we receive him in his Risen and Ascended Body so that we, in our unity of body and soul, are made one with the Son of God himself, until that union with him reaches its culmination hereafter in the enjoyment of the splendour of God’s visible Presence and in the resurrection of the dead.

For then each soul will be clothed anew by God with a supernatural body which will be the perfect instrument for that life of eternal glory in Christ to which God has called us (1 Peter 5:10; see also 1 Thessalonians 2:12).
