Quoted By:
"The Most Holy Father did not apply any coercion to the Incarnate Son and treated Him just like every other man so that
his sanctity as a Man would be real and perfect and similar to his Holiness as God. If the Father had bound or reduced the
Son's freedom and senses and sentiments; if-and He could have done so-He had forbidden the devil, the world, and the flesh
to assert themselves before the Incarnate Son, the Humanity of the Son and his sanctity as a man would have been a mere
appearance.
But the Father wanted the full and perfect Holiness of the Son made Flesh so that the Victim would really be the spotless
Lamb and immaculate host immolated pro omnibus.
"The Son of God was tempted not once, but thousands and thousands of times in his Humanity, for only therein could
He be tempted-by his Humanity itself, by the world, and by the devil. And He remained Holy and Faithful to the Law,
Justice, and, therefore, to his Mission by his own free will. And thus also faithful to the Sacrifice for whose accomplishment
He had taken on Flesh.
"And it is for this reason, then, that He who, being God, became Man, Victim, and Lamb is worthy to receive, as a Man
as well, what He already possessed as God, both glory and rule forever and ever."
