Consecration to the Holy Family

Jesus Christ is for us a model, which we must follow and seek to imitate. Although He was God and had therefore, all grace and strength, He was also truly human; and He chose to prepare Himself by prayer, to submit his human will to that of the Father, who needed Him as an expiatory victim for the sins of humanity. To his human nature, suffering, humiliation and death were repugnant, as it is for all of us, because they are the punishment for sin; sin which He did not commit, but for which He chose to make satisfaction on our behalf.”
