He has created us for this very reason, that He might redeem and sanctify us. In addition to giving and imparting to us everything in heaven and upon earth, He has even given to us His Son and the Holy Spirit, who brings us to Himself. For we could never grasp the knowledge of the Father's grace and favor except through the Lord Christ. Jesus is a mirror of the fatherly heart outside of whom we see nothing but an angry and terrible Judge. But we couldn't know anything about Christ either, unless it has been revealed by the Holy Spirit.
~BOC, LC, II, 64-65
