| Summary |
Presents a series of reflections and quotations bearing upon the doctrine of redemption--from the degradation of original sin, by which man lost heaven, to the triumph of Christ's ascension. The author asserts with St. Thomas Aquinas that Christ's passion was not an oppression, but an exaltation, a triumph of divine love. In the conclusion, he emphasizes the theme that the mystery of Christ demands above all love at the heart of the Mystical Body. "Love alone enables the Christian to penetrate the mystery of the Redeemer." |
