After John’s arrest, Jesus appeared in Galilee proclaiming the good news of God.“This is the time of fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand! Reform your lives and believe in the Gospel!”
Another mystery of light is the preaching by which Jesus proclaims the coming of the Kingdom of God, calls to conversion (cf. Mk 1:15) and forgives the sins of all who draw near to him in humble trust (cf. Mk 2:3-13; Lk 7:47- 48): the inauguration of that ministry of mercy which he continues to exercise until the end of the world, particularly through the Sacrament of Reconciliation which he has entrusted to his Church (cf. John 20:22-23) (RVM, 21).
