Article 1 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2571
Because Abraham believed in God and walked in his presence and in covenant with
him,¹⁰ The patriarch is ready to welcome a mysterious Guest into his
tent. Abraham’s remarkable hospitality at Mamre foreshadows the annunciation of
the true Son of the promise.¹¹ After that, once God had confided his
plan, Abraham’s heart is attuned to his Lord’s compassion for men and he dares
to intercede for them with bold confidence.¹²
