Christ paves the way to peace. The all-encompassing love for the Creator, His Messiah and one's neighbor is the most sustainable path to irrevocable inner liberation. Christ opened wide the gates to hope and taught trust in His and His Mother's unyielding love for the Father and mankind in His past life. His work of redemption, reflected in the sacraments, means life in God, to have life in abundance and to have it eternally. Those who have fallen out of practice should convince themselves that repentance or gratitude only costs overcoming and is far from being a punishment.
