God made us to know him, to love him, and to serve him, and to be sisters and brothers to one another. To that end, God the Father anointed us with the Spirit of his Son Jesus in the Sacrament of Baptism to be prophets who are filled with the word of God, to be priests who offer ourselves in sacrifice, to be kings who desire to serve rather than to be served, and to be the Church, his extended family.
