become incarnate and assume a human will. This below para
from the catechism makes it clear.

Christ's human will

475 Similarly, at the sixth ecumenical council, Constantinople III

in 681, the Church confessed that Christ possesses two wills
and two natural operations, divine and human. They are not
opposed to each other, but cooperate in such a way that the

Word made flesh willed humanly in obedience to his Father all
that he had decided divinely with the Father and the Holy Spirit
for our salvation. 110 Christ's human will "does not resist or

oppose but rather submits to his divine and almighty will."

Next week we look at how we can mediate on the Father’s
action in our soul with the analogy of the Heart. This reflection

on Jesus leads us there as the prologue of John says:

“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son,

who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the
Father [or nearest to the Father’s heart], has made him
known. Jn 1:18

Catechism of the Catholic Church. N. 34 The world, and
man, attest that they contain within themselves neither their first

principle nor their final end, but rather that they participate in
Being itself, which alone is without origin or end. Thus, in
different ways, man can come to know that there exists a reality

which is the first cause and final end of all things, a reality "that
everyone calls God".
