CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
SECOND EDITION

517 Christ's whole life is a mystery of redemption. Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of his cross, 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;

- in his hidden life which by his submission atones for our disobedience;

- in his word which purifies its hearers;

- in his healings and exorcisms by which "he took our infirmities and bore our diseases";

- and in his Resurrection by which he justifies us.
