The architects' drawings for the completion of the pinnacles of St. Michael's Cathedral, dated December 28th, 1865. credit
We see the free will of Christ Who in obedience to the will of the Father offered Himself for love. It is in this obedience to the Father that Jesus fulfils His own freedom, as an informed choice motivated by love...It may seem a paradox, but the high point of the Lord's freedom was on the cross: the pinnacle of love. On Calvary they cried: 'If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!' Yet He demonstrated His freedom...by remaining on that scaffold to fulfill the Father's merciful will.
– Pope Benedict XVI
