[46] "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I command? [47] I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them.
(CCC 462) The Letter to the Hebrews refers to the same mystery: Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, Lo, I have come to do your will, O God" (Heb 10:5-7, citing Ps 40:6-8 ([7-9] LXX). (CCC 802) Christ Jesus "gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own" (Titus 2:14). (CCC 803) "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people" (1 Pet 2:9).
