III. The Only Son of God

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

444
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.
