The human person is ordered to beatitude by his deliberate acts: the passions
or feelings he experiences can dispose him to it and contribute to it.

The Gospels report that at two solemn moments, the Baptism and the
Transfiguration of Christ, the voice of the Father designates Jesus his
“beloved Son”.53 Jesus calls himself the “only Son of
God”, and by this title affirms his eternal pre-existence.54 He
asks for faith in “the name of the only Son of God”.55 In the
centurion’s exclamation before the crucified Christ, “Truly this man was
the Son of God”,56 that Christian confession is already heard.
Only in the Paschal mystery can the believer give the title “Son of
God” its full meaning.

What material food produces in our bodily life, Holy Communion wonderfully
achieves in our spiritual life. Communion with the flesh of the risen Christ, a
flesh “given life and giving life through the Holy
Spirit,”226 preserves, increases, and renews the life of grace received
at Baptism. This growth in Christian life needs the nourishment of Eucharistic
Communion, the bread for our pilgrimage until the moment of death, when it will
be given to us as viaticum.

Through his Word, God speaks to man. By words, mental or vocal, our prayer
takes flesh. Yet it is most important that the heart should be present to him
to whom we are speaking in prayer: “Whether or not our prayer is heard
depends not on the number of words, but on the fervor of our
souls.”2

We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot
love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against
ourselves: “He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother
is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in
him.”610 Our Lord warns us that we shall be separated from him if
we fail to meet the serious needs of the poor and the little ones who are his
brethren.611 To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God’s
merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free
choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the
blessed is called “hell.”

Human work proceeds directly from persons created in the image of God and
called to prolong the work of creation by subduing the earth, both with and for
one another.209 Hence work is a duty: “If any one will not work,
let him not eat.”210 Work honors the Creator’s gifts and the
talents received from him. It can also be redemptive. By enduring the hardship
of work211 in union with Jesus, the carpenter of Nazareth and the one
crucified on Calvary, man collaborates in a certain fashion with the Son of God
in his redemptive work. He shows himself to be a disciple of Christ by carrying
the cross, daily, in the work he is called to accomplish.212 Work can
be a means of sanctification and a way of animating earthly realities with the
Spirit of Christ.

680 Christ the Lord already
reigns through the Church, but all the things of this world are not yet
subjected to him. the triumph of Christ’s kingdom will not come about without one
last assault by the powers of evil.

“Our holy mother, the Church, holds and teaches that God, the first
principle and last end of all things, can be known with certainty from the
created world by the natural light of human reason.”11 Without
this capacity, man would not be able to welcome God’s revelation. Man has this
capacity because he is created “in the image of God”.12
