Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
530
The flight into Egypt and the massacre of the innocents217 make
manifest the opposition of darkness to the light: “He came to his own
home, and his own people received him not.”218 Christ’s whole life
was lived under the sign of persecution. His own share it with him.219
Jesus’ departure from Egypt recalls the exodus and presents him as the
definitive liberator of God’s people.220
