§549By freeing some individuals from the earthly evils of hunger, injustice, illness and death,274 Jesus performed messianic signs. Nevertheless he did not come to abolish all evils here below,275 but to free men from the gravest slavery, sin, which thwarts them in their vocation as God's sons and causes all forms of human bondage.276
§2412In virtue of commutative justice, reparation for injustice committed requires the restitution of stolen goods to their owner: Jesus blesses Zacchaeus for his pledge: "If I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold."192 Those who, directly or indirectly, have taken possession of the goods of another, are obliged to make restitution of them, or to return the equiva…

And so the most fervent Peter, when he hears, Whither I go ye cannot come, what says he? Lord, where are you going? and this he said, not so much from wish to learn, as from desire to follow. To say openly, I go, he dared not ye…
The preaching of repentance is joined with the Gospel. For so the Lord said in the Gospel: "Repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations." By repentance we understand the knowledge of one's sin, true sorrow for sin, and the earnest endeavor henceforth to serve God and follow his commandments. True repentance does not flow from what is to be s…
