John 1: 1-18 - 'The Word was made flesh, and lived among us.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 454 (in 'The Only Son of God') - The title âSon of Godâ signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the only Son of the Father (cf. Jn1:14,18; 3:16,18); he is God himself (cf. Jn1:1). To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (cf. Acts 8:37; 1 Jn 2:23).
- 2780 (in 'Father') - We can invoke God as âFatherâ because he is revealed to us by his Son become man and because his Spirit makes him known to us. The personal relation of the Son to the Father is something that man cannot conceive of nor the angelic powers even dimly see: and yet, the Spirit of the Son grants a participation in that very relation to us who believe that Jesus is the Christ and that we are born of God.
- 1216 (in 'The Name of the Sacrament of Baptism') - âThis bath is called enlightenment, because those who receive this [catechetical] instruction are enlightened in their understanding . . . .â Having received in Baptism the Word, âthe true light that enlightens every man,â the person baptized has been âenlightened,â he becomes a âson of light,â indeed, he becomes âlightâ himself" (abbreviated)
- 1996 (in 'Grace') - Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.
- 423 (in 'The Good News: God has sent his Son') - We believe and confess that Jesus of Nazareth, born a Jew of a daughter of Israel at Bethlehem at the time of King Herod the Great and the emperor Caesar Augustus, a carpenter by trade, who died crucified in Jerusalem under the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, is the eternal Son of God made man. He âcame from God,â âdescended from heaven,â and âcame in the flesh.â For âthe Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. . . . And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace.â
- 151 (in 'To Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God') - For a Christian, believing in God cannot be separated from believing in the One he sent, his âbeloved Son,â in whom the Father is âwell pleasedâ; God tells us to listen to him. The Lord himself said to his disciples: âBelieve in God, believe also in me.â We can believe in Jesus Christ because he is himself God, the Word made flesh: âNo one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.â Because he âhas seen the Father,â Jesus Christ is the only one who knows him and can reveal him.
- 291 (in 'Creation-Work of the Holy Trinity')
- 241 (in 'The Father revealed by the Son')
- 612 (in 'The agony at Gethsemani')
- 717 & 719 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist')
- 530 (in 'The Mysteries of Jesus' infancy')
- 526 (in 'The Christmas Mystery')
- 1692 (in 'Life in Christ')

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 422 (in 'The Good News: God has Sent his Son") - God has visited his people. He has fulfilled the promise he made to Abraham and his descendants. He acted far beyond all expectationâhe has sent his own âbeloved Son" (abbreviated)

Luke 1: 39-45 - 'Why should I be honoured with a visit from the Mother of my Lord?'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 523 (in 'The Preparations') - St. John the Baptist is the Lordâs immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way. âProphet of the Most High,â John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last. He inaugurates the Gospel, already from his motherâs womb welcomes the coming of Christ (abbreviated).
- 717 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - âThere was a man sent from God, whose name was John.â John was âfilled with the Holy Spirit even from his motherâs wombâ by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit. Maryâs visitation to Elizabeth thus became a visit from God to his people.
- 2676 & 2677 (in 'Communion with the Holy Mother of God') - Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. After the angelâs greeting, we make Elizabethâs greeting our own. âFilled with the Holy Spirit,â Elizabeth is the first in the long succession of generations who have called Mary âblessed.â âBlessed is she who believed. . . .â Mary is âblessed among womenâ because she believed in the fulfillment of the Lordâs word. Abraham, because of his faith, became a blessing for all the nations of the earth. Mary, because of her faith, became the mother of believers, through whom all nations of the earth receive him who is Godâs own blessing: Jesus, the âfruit of thy womb.â Holy Mary, Mother of God: With Elizabeth we marvel, âAnd why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?â (abbreviated)
- 448 (in 'LORD') - At the prompting of the Holy Spirit, âLordâ expresses the recognition of the divine mystery of Jesus (abbreviated).
- 495 (in 'Mary's Divine Motherhood') - Called in the Gospels âthe mother of Jesus,â Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as âthe mother of my Lord.â In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Fatherâs eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly âMother of Godâ (Theotokos).
- 148 (in 'Blessed is she who believed') - Elizabeth greeted her: âBlessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.â It is for this faith that all generations have called Mary blessed (abbreviated).

Luke 1: 5-25 - 'Your wife Elizabeth will bear a son.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 332 (in 'Christ with all his angels') - Angels have been present since creation and throughout the history of salvation, announcing this salvation from afar or near and serving the accomplishment of the divine plan: they closed the earthly paradise; protected Lot; saved Hagar and her child; stayed Abrahamâs hand; communicated the law by their ministry; led the People of God; announced births and callings; and assisted the prophets, just to cite a few examples. Finally, the angel Gabriel announced the birth of the Precursor and that of Jesus himself.
- 717-718 (in 'John, precursor, prophet and baptist') - âThere was a man sent from God, whose name was John.â John was âfilled with the Holy Spirit even from his motherâs wombâ by Christ himself, whom the Virgin Mary had just conceived by the Holy Spirit (abbreviated).

- 716 (in 'Expectation of the Messiah & his Spirit') - It is this quality of heart, purified and enlightened by the Spirit, which is expressed in the Psalms. In these poor, the Spirit is making ready âa people prepared for the Lord" (abbreviated)

- 1070 (in 'What does the word liturgy mean?') - In the New Testament the word âliturgyâ refers not only to the celebration of divine worship but also to the proclamation of the Gospel and to active charity (abbreviated).

Matthew 1: 18-24 - 'How Jesus Christ came to be born.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 497 (in 'Mary's Virginity') - The gospel accounts understand the virginal conception of Jesus as a divine work that surpasses all human understanding and possibility: âThat which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit,â said the angel to Joseph about Mary his fiancĂ©e.

- 1507 (in 'Heal the Sick') - The risen Lord renews this mission (âIn my name . . . they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.â and confirms it through the signs that the Church performs by invoking his name. These signs demonstrate in a special way that Jesus is truly âGod who saves.â
- 1846 (in 'Mercy and Sin') - The Gospel is the revelation in Jesus Christ of Godâs mercy to sinners. The angel announced to Joseph: âYou shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins" (abbreviated)
- 2666 (in 'Prayer to Jesus') - But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God received in his incarnation: Jesus. The divine name may not be spoken by human lips, but by assuming our humanity. The Word of God hands it over to us and we can invoke it: âJesus,â âYHWH saves" (abbreviated)
- 2812 (in 'Hallowed be Thy Name') - Finally, in Jesus the name of the Holy God is revealed and given to us, in the flesh, as Savior, revealed by what he is, by his word, and by his sacrifice (abbreviated)

A crowd of sinners - tax collectors and soldiers, Pharisees and Sadducees, and prostitutes - come to be baptized by him (abbreviated).
- 2447 (in 'Love for the Poor') - The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities. Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently. the corporal works of mercy consist especially in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead. Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also a work of justice pleasing to God.
- 696 (in 'Symbols of the Holy Spirit') - John the Baptist, who goes "before [the Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah," proclaims Christ as the one who "will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."

- 523 (in 'The Preparations of Jesus' Life') - St. John the Baptist is the Lordâs immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way. âProphet of the Most High,â John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last.

- 459 (in 'Why did the Word become Flesh') - The Word became flesh to be our model of holiness: âTake my yoke upon you, and learn from me.â âI am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me" (abbreviated)

- 1615 (in 'Marriage in the Lord') - This unequivocal insistence on the indissolubility of the marriage bond may have left some perplexed and could seem to be a demand impossible to realize. However, Jesus has not placed on spouses a burden impossible to bear, or too heavyâheavier than the Law of Moses. By coming to restore the original order of creation disturbed by sin, he himself gives the strength and grace to live marriage in the new dimension of the Reign of God. It is by following Christ, renouncing themselves, and taking up their crosses that spouses will be able to âreceiveâ the original meaning of marriage and live it with the help of Christ. This grace of Christian marriage is a fruit of Christâs cross, the source of all Christian life (abbreviated).

Matthew 18: 12-14 - 'The one lost sheep gives him more joy than ninety-nine that did not stray.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 605 (in 'God takes the initiative of universal redeeming love') - At the end of the parable of the lost sheep Jesus recalled that Godâs love excludes no one: âSo it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.â He affirms that he came âto give his life as a ransom for manyâ; this last term is not restrictive, but contrasts the whole of humanity with the unique person of the redeemer who hands himself over to save us. The Church, following the apostles, teaches that Christ died for all men without exception: âThere is not, never has been, and never will be a single human being for whom Christ did not suffer.â
- 2822 (in 'Thy Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven') - Our Father âdesires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.â He âis forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish" (abbreviated).

Matthew 9:35 - 10:1, 5, 6-8 - 'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 2611 (In 'Jesus teaches us how to pray') - The prayer of faith consists not only in saying âLord, Lord,â but in disposing the heart to do the will of the Father. Jesus calls his disciples to bring into their prayer this concern for cooperating with the divine plan.
- 543 (In 'The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God') - Everyone is called to enter the kingdom. First announced to the children of Israel, this messianic kingdom is intended to accept men of all nations (abbreviated).
- 1509 (In 'Heal the Sick') - âHeal the sick!â The Church has received this charge from the Lord and strives to carry it out by taking care of the sick as well as by accompanying them with her prayer of intercession. She believes in the life-giving presence of Christ, the physician of souls and bodies (abbreviated).
- 2121 (In 'Irreligion') - Simony is defined as the buying or selling of spiritual things. To Simon the magician, who wanted to buy the spiritual power he saw at work in the apostles, St. Peter responded: âYour silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain Godâs gift with money!â Peter thus held to the words of Jesus: âYou received without pay, give without pay.â It is impossible to appropriate to oneself spiritual goods and behave toward them as their owner or master, for they have their source in God. One can receive them only from him, without payment.
- 2443 (In 'Love for the Poor') - God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and rebukes those who turn away from them: âGive to him who begs from you, do not refuse him who would borrow from youâ; âyou received without pay, give without pay" (abbreviated)

Matthew 9: 27-31 - 'Take care that no-one learns about this.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 439 (In 'Christ') - Many Jews and even certain Gentiles who shared their hope recognized in Jesus the fundamental attributes of the messianic âSon of David,â promised by God to Israel. Jesus accepted his rightful title of Messiah, though with some reserve because it was understood by some of his contemporaries in too human a sense, as essentially political.
- 2616 (In 'Jesus hears our prayer') - Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman). The urgent request of the blind men, âHave mercy on us, Son of Davidâ or âJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!â has been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer: âLord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!â Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always responds to a prayer offered in faith: âYour faith has made you well; go in peace.â
