Paragraph:
708 This divine pedagogy appears especially in the gift of the Law. 72 God gave the Law as a "pedagogue" to lead his people towards Christ. 73 But the Law's powerlessness to save man deprived of the divine "likeness," along with the growing awareness of sin that it imparts, 74 enkindles a desire for the Holy Spirit. The lamentations of the Psalms bear witness to this.
