CCC 1846 The Gospel is the revelation in Jesus Christ of God’s mercy to sinners.1 The angel announced to Joseph: “You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”2 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.”3
