Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

612
The cup of the New Covenant, which Jesus anticipated when he offered himself at
the Last Supper, is afterwards accepted by him from his Father’s hands in his
agony in the garden at Gethsemani,⁴³⁴ making himself “obedient
unto death”. Jesus prays: “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me. . .”⁴³⁵ Thus he expresses the horror that death
represented for his human nature. Like ours, his human nature is destined for
eternal life; but unlike ours, it is perfectly exempt from sin, the cause of
death.⁴³⁶ Above all, his human nature has been assumed by the divine
person of the “Author of life”, the “Living
One”.⁴³⁷ By accepting in his human will that the Father’s will be
done, he accepts his death as redemptive, for “he himself bore our sins in
his body on the tree.”⁴³⁸
