CCC 730

At last Jesus' hour arrives:¹¹⁷ Cf. Jn 13:1; 17:1. he commends his spirit into the Father's hands¹¹⁸ Cf. Lk 23:46; Jn 19:30. at the very moment when by his death he conquers death, so that, "raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,"¹¹⁹ Rom 6:4. he might immediately give the Holy Spirit by "breathing" on his disciples.¹²⁰ Cf. Jn 20:22. From this hour onward, the mission of Christ and the Spirit becomes the mission of the Church: "As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."¹²¹ Jn 20:21; cf. Mt 28:19; Lk 24:47-48; Acts 1:8.
