Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
522
The coming of God’s Son to earth is an event of such immensity that God willed
to prepare for it over centuries. He makes everything converge on Christ: all
the rituals and sacrifices, figures and symbols of the “First
Covenant”.195 He announces him through the mouths of the prophets
who succeeded one another in Israel. Moreover, he awakens in the hearts of the
pagans a dim expectation of this coming.
