Youcat commented through CCC - Question n. 61.
(Youcat
answer - repeated) All men are equal inasmuch as they have the same origin in
the one creative love of God. All men have their Savior in Jesus Christ. All
men are destined to find their happiness and their eternal blessedness in
God.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 280)
Creation is the foundation of "all God's saving plans," the
"beginning of the history of salvation" (GCD 51) that culminates in
Christ. Conversely, the mystery of Christ casts conclusive light on the mystery
of creation and reveals the end for which "in the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth": from the beginning, God envisaged the glory of
the new creation in Christ (Gen 1:1; cf. Rom 8:18-23).
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) Hence
all men are brothers and sisters. Christians should practice solidarity not
only with other Christians but with everyone and forcefully oppose racist,
sexist, and economic divisions in the one human family.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 517)
Christ's whole life is a mystery of redemption.
Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of his cross (Cf. Eph 1:7;
Col 1:13-14; 2 Pt 1:18-19), but this
mystery is at work throughout Christ's entire life: - already in his
Incarnation through which by becoming poor he enriches us with his poverty (Cf.
2 Cor 8:9); - in his hidden life which by his submission atones for our
disobedience (Cf. Lk 2:51); - in his word which purifies its hearers (Cf. Jn 15:3); - in his healings and
exorcisms by which "he took our infirmities and bore our diseases"
(Mt 8:17; cf. Isa 53:4); - and in his Resurrection by which he justifies us
(Cf. Rom 4:25).
