-- Timothy 1:13-14, 2:1-3
The Word became flesh to be our model of holiness:
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." "I am the way, and the
truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." On the
mountain of the Transfiguration, the Father commands: "Listen to him!"
Jesus is the model for the Beatitudes and the norm of the new law: "Love
one another as I have loved you." This love implies an effective
offering of oneself, after his example.
-- CCC 459
