'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.' John 12: 32, 33.
Those prophetic words, spoken by our Lord shortly before his Passion, reveal to us the very heart and centre of our Catholic Faith. They were echoed by St Peter in his first sermon, on the very day of the founding of the Church, the first Pentecost: 'Therefore let all the House of Israel knoW most certainly that God hath made both Lord and Christ this same Jesus whom you crucified.' And a few days later proclaiming the gospel of redemption, through the death and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth to the Jewish people, probably within tne precincts of the Temple, he summed up his message in these words. 'Neither is there any other name under heaven given amongs men whereby we must be saved.'
