Agnus Dei in Sacred Scripture designates a defined doctrinal reality within the Catholic faith that arises from divine revelation and is authoritatively interpreted by the Church’s Magisterium. Ultimately, it contributes to the sanctification of the faithful and the building up of the Mystical Body of Christ. It is grounded in Sacred Scripture and transmitted through Sacred Tradition, forming part of the coherent unity of Christian teaching. It safeguards revealed truth while inviting deeper intellectual assent and personal conversion. Properly understood, it is ordered toward communion with the Most Holy Trinity and participation in the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ. It therefore holds enduring doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual significance within the life of the Church.
