Paragraph:

549 By freeing some individuals from the earthly evils of hunger, injustice, illness and death, ²⁷⁴ Jesus performed messianic signs. Nevertheless he did not come to abolish all evils here below, ²⁷⁵ but to free men from the gravest slavery, sin, which thwarts them in their vocation as God's sons and causes all forms of human bondage. ²⁷⁶
