"'... Thus recalling the mysteries of the redemption, she (Holy Mother Church) opnes up to the faithful the riches of her Lord's powers and merits, so that these are in some way made present in every age; the faithful lay hold of them and are filled with saving grace.'" (Sacrosanctum Concilium 102).
