Article 2 IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2600
The Gospel according to St. Luke emphasizes the action of the Holy Spirit and
the meaning of prayer in Christ’s ministry. Jesus prays before the decisive
moments of his mission: before his Father’s witness to him during his baptism
and Transfiguration, and before his own fulfillment of the Father’s plan of
love by his Passion.⁴³ He also prays before the decisive moments
involving the mission of his apostles: at his election and call of the Twelve,
before Peter’s confession of him as “the Christ of God,” and again
that the faith of the chief of the Apostles may not fail when
tempted.⁴⁴ Jesus’ prayer before the events of salvation that the Father
has asked him to fulfill is a humble and trusting commitment of his human will
to the loving will of the Father.
