Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

609
By embracing in his human heart the Father’s love for men, Jesus “loved
them to the end”, for “greater love has no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends.”⁴²⁵ In suffering and death his
humanity became the free and perfect instrument of his divine love which
desires the salvation of men.⁴²⁶ Indeed, out of love for his Father and
for men, whom the Father wants to save, Jesus freely accepted his Passion and
death: “No one takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down of my own
accord.”⁴²⁷ Hence the sovereign freedom of God’s Son as he went
out to his death.⁴²⁸
