The Octave of Redemption

Redemption may be said to have eight primary notes or aspects. There are, of course, many subsidiary features, but there are eight primary ones. These are:


1. The Incarnation

2. The Earthly Life

3. The Cross and Resurrection

4. The Forty Days after the Resurrection

5. The Ascension and the Glorifying

6. The Advent of the Holy Spirit

7. The Birth, Vocation and Completion of the Church

8. The Coming Again.


Into these everything else is gathered, and there is nothing outside of them; they complete the scale.
