CCC 1846

The Gospel is the revelation in Jesus Christ of God's mercy to sinners.¹¹³ Cf. Lk 15. The angel announced to Joseph: "You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."¹¹⁴ Mt 1:21. The same is true of the Eucharist, the sacrament of redemption: "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."¹¹⁵ Mt 26:28.
