Tuesday, Week 22: "The one who is spiritual, however, can judge everything"

"What is there about his word?
For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits,
and they come out."

--Lk 4:31-37

As Lord, Christ is also head of the Church, which is his Body. Taken up to heaven and glorified after he had thus fully accomplished his mission, Christ dwells on earth in his Church. The redemption is the source of the authority that Christ, by virtue of the Holy Spirit, exercises over the Church. "The kingdom of Christ [is] already present in mystery", "on earth, the seed and the beginning of the kingdom".

-- CCC 669
