The act of redemption marked the high point of the history of man within God's loving plan. God the Father knew that we would not be able to live with Him again because of the original and personal sins, and the errors of our human intellect. So He sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, Who offered Himself to be our Redeemer. Through the Incarnation God gave us, the dimension that He intended man to have from his very beginning, His eternal love and mercy, with the full freedom, will and heart of God, and with the bounty that enables us to repeat with amazement the words of the Sacred Liturgy: "O happy fault... which gained us so great a Redeemer!" (Cf. Encyclical Redemptor Hominis)


Jesus was crucified and died, but after three days He was resurrected. He lives again! We too, in the mystery of the Redemption become newly created. If we wish to understand ourselves thoroughly, and not just in accordance with immediate, partial, often superficial, and even illusory standards and measures of our being, we must with unrest, uncertainty and even our weakness and sinfulness, with our life and death, draw near to Christ.
Truly, Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He is the perfect example for all of us. He taught us how to treat one another with kindness. He taught us how to serve one another. He taught us how to become better. We won’t be able to live a perfect life as He did, but we can return to live in union with Jesus and His Father and the Holy Spirit by obeying the commandments and doing our best.
