United In Christ

This mystery of man becomes clear only in the mystery of Christ. “That is why Christ took on himself the role and the name of the first Adam, in order that he might not lose what he had made in his own image” (St. Peter Chrysologus).

The human race has a unity. “From one ancestor, God made all nations to inhabit the whole earth” (Acts 17:26). “The human race has unity in its origin (God), in its nature (body and soul), in its dwelling place (earth), in its supernatural goal (heaven), and in the means to heaven (Christ’s redemption)” (Pope Pius XII). All men are truly brothers.
