00:00The cross that we must love and carry in the footsteps of Christ
00:05is the testimony that we have nothing good by ourselves,
00:09that absolutely everything is grace.
00:12It destroys selfishness, self-sufficiency, self-love and the will to power.
00:17And it makes us available in true freedom for
00:20a new creation in communion with the humanity of Christ.
00:26Unlike Islam, of which each will inherit at conception,
00:30the Christian religion does not identify with human nature
00:33but is the unmerited gift of divine life received in baptism.
00:39It involves an ontological break from this current and evil world
00:43like the caterpillar in its chrysalis dying to its larval life
00:47to become a butterfly, a citizen of heaven.
00:51Thus the Christian, united with Christ, dead and resurrected,
00:56dies to the life of sin to become a child of God.
01:00But the non-Christian, how can he ever cease to be a sinner?
