Christ's whole earthly life - his words and deeds, his silences and sufferings, indeed his manner of being and speaking - is Revelation of the Father. Jesus can say: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father", and the Father can say: "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" Jn 14:9; Lk 9:35; cf. Mt 17:5; Mk 9:7, "my beloved Son". Because our Lord became man in order to do his Father's will, even the least characteristics of his mysteries manifest "God's love. . . among us". Jn 4:9[ETML:C/].
