Paragraph 617. The Council of Trent emphasizes the unique character of Christ's sacrifice as "the source of eternal salvation" and teaches that "his most holy Passion on the wood of the cross merited justification for us." And the Church venerates his cross as it sings: "Hail, O Cross, our only hope." (1992, 1235, 1368, 1460, 307, 2100, 964)

The ultimate purpose of creation is that God "who is the creator of all things may at last become all in all,' thus simultaneously assuring his own glory and our beatitude." (2809, 1722, 1992)
