TWO fundamental forms express this movement: our prayer ascends in the Holy
Spirit through Christ to the Father – we bless him for having blessed
us;97 it implores the grace of the Holy Spirit that descends through
Christ from the Father – he blesses us.98

Their equal dignity as persons
demands that we strive for fairer and more humane conditions. Excessive
economic and social disparity between individuals and peoples of the one human
race is a source of scandal and militates against social justice, equity, human
dignity, as well as social and international peace.44

Observing the fourth commandment brings its reward: “Honor your father and
your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God
gives you.”8 Respecting this commandment provides, along with
spiritual fruits, temporal fruits of peace and prosperity. Conversely, failure
to observe it brings great harm to communities and to individuals.

It is on this harmony of the two Testaments that the Paschal catechesis of the
Lord is built,15 and then, that of the Apostles and the Fathers of the
Church. This catechesis unveils what lay hidden under the letter of the Old
Testament: the mystery of Christ. It is called “typological” because
it reveals the newness of Christ on the basis of the “figures”
(types) which announce him in the deeds, words, and symbols of the first
covenant. By this re-reading in the Spirit of Truth, starting from Christ, the
figures are unveiled.16 Thus the flood and Noah’s ark prefigured
salvation by Baptism,17 as did the cloud and the crossing of the Red
Sea. Water from the rock was the figure of the spiritual gifts of Christ, and
manna in the desert prefigured the Eucharist, “the true bread from heaven.”18

“Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative
action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the
Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning
until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right
directly to destroy an innocent human being.”56

Second, a humble and trusting heart that enables us “to turn and become
like children”:41 for it is to “little children” that
the Father is revealed.42
