Catechism Paragraph

¶ 708

This divine pedagogy appears Especially in the Gift of the Law. 72 God Gave the letter of the Law as a "pedagogue" to Lead his people Towards Christ. 73 But the Law's powerlessness to save man deprived of the divine "Likeness," along with the growing awareness of Sin that it imparts, 74 enkindles a Desire for the Holy Spirit. the lamentations of the Psalms bear Witness to this.
