It was prepared in a remarkable way throughout the history of the people of Israel and by means of the Old Covenant.(1*) In the present era of time the Church was constituted and, by the outpouring of the Spirit, was made manifest. Already from the beginning of the world the foreshadowing of the Church took place. Fallen in Adam, God the Father did not leave men to themselves, but ceaselessly offered helps to salvation, in view of Christ, the Redeemer 'who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature'.(2) All the elect, before time began, the Father 'foreknew and pre- destined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that he should be the firstborn among many brethren'.(3) He planned to assemble in the holy Church all those who would believe in Christ. His plan was to raise men to a participation of the divine life. The eternal Father, by a free and hidden plan of His own wisdom and goodness, created the whole world. The present-day conditions of the world add greater urgency to this work of the Church so that all men, joined more closely today by various social, technical and cultural ties, might also attain fuller unity in Christ.Ģ. This it intends to do following faithfully the teaching of previous councils. Since the Church is in Christ like a sacrament or as a sign and instrument both of a very closely knit union with God and of the unity of the whole human race, it desires now to unfold more fully to the faithful of the Church and to the whole world its own inner nature and universal mission.

Because this is so, this Sacred Synod gathered together in the Holy Spirit eagerly desires, by proclaiming the Gospel to every creature,(1) to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light brightly visible on the countenance of the Church. [ AR - BE - CS - DE - EN - ES - FR - IT - HU - LA - LV -ġ.
