14:36 - He said, “Abba,[a] Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I
want, but what you want.”
Mat 11: 27 - All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
CCC 423 - We believe and confess that Jesus of Nazareth, born a Jew of a daughter of Israel at Bethlehem at the
time of King Herod the Great and the emperor Caesar Augustus, a carpenter by trade, who died crucified in Jerusalem
under the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, is the eternal Son of God made man. He
'came from God',4 'descended from heaven',5 and 'came in the flesh'.6 For 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. . . and from his fullness
have we all received, grace upon grace.'7
Eph 1:9-10- he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in
Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
LG 3 The Son, therefore, came, sent by the Father. It was in Him, before the foundation of the world, that the Father
chose us and predestined us to become adopted sons, for in Him it pleased the Father to re-establish all things.(4) To
carry out the will of the Father, Christ inaugurated the Kingdom of heaven on earth and revealed to us the mystery of
that kingdom. By His obedience He brought about redemption. The Church, or, in other words, the kingdom of Christ
now present in mystery, grows visibly through the power of God in the world. This inauguration and this growth are
both symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the open side of a crucified Jesus,(5) and are foretold in
the words of the Lord referring to His death on the Cross: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to
myself".(6) As often as the sacrifice of the cross in which Christ our Passover was sacrificed, is celebrated on the altar,
the work of our redemption is carried on, and, in the sacrament of the eucharistic bread, the unity of all believers who
form one body in Christ (8) is both expressed and brought about. All men are called to this union with Christ, who is
the light of the world, from whom we go forth, through whom we live, and toward whom our whole life strains.
CCC 548 - The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him. To those who turn
to him in faith, he grants what they ask. So miracles strengthen faith in the One who does his Father's works; they
bear witness that he is the Son of God. But his miracles can also be occasions for "offence"; they are not intended to
satisfy people's curiosity or desire for magic. Despite his evident miracles some people reject Jesus; he is even
accused of acting by the power of demons.
DV 2 - In His goodness and wisdom God chose to reveal Himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of His
will (see Eph. 1:9) by which through Christ, the Word made flesh, man might in the Holy Spirit have access to the
Father and come to share in the divine nature (see Eph. 2:18; 2 Peter 1:4). Through this revelation, therefore, the
invisible God (see Col. 1;15, 1 Tim. 1:17) out of the abundance of His love speaks to men as friends (see Ex. 33:11;
John 15:14-15) and lives among them (see Bar. 3:38), so that He may invite and take them into fellowship with
Himself. This plan of revelation is realized by deeds and words having an inner unity: the deeds wrought by God in the
history of salvation manifest and confirm the teaching and realities signified by the words, while the words proclaim
the deeds and clarify the mystery contained in them. By this revelation then, the deepest truth about God and the
salvation of man shines out for our sake in Christ, who is both the mediator and the fullness of all revelation. (2)

you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in vain.

GS 45 - While helping the world and receiving many benefits from it, the Church has a single intention: that God's
kingdom may come, and that the salvation of the whole human race may come to pass. For every benefit which the People
of God during its earthly pilgrimage can offer to the human family stems from the fact that the Church is "the universal
sacrament of salvation",(24) simultaneously manifesting and exercising the mystery of God's love.
For God's Word, by whom all things were made, was Himself made flesh so that as perfect man He might save all men
and sum up all things in Himself. The Lord is the goal of human history, the focal point of the longings of history and of
civilization, the center of the human race, the joy of every heart and the answer to all its yearnings.(25) He it is Whom the
Father raised from the dead, lifted on high and stationed at His right hand, making Him judge of the living and the dead.
Enlivened and united in His Spirit, we journey toward the consummation of human history, one which fully accords with
the counsel of God's love: "To reestablish all things in Christ, both those in the heavens and those on the earth" (Eph.
11:10).
The Lord Himself speaks: "Behold I come quickly! And my reward is with me, to render to each one according to his
works. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end (Rev. 22:12-13).
