Roman Catholic Lens Commentary: Titus 3:3-8

## Roman Catholic Lens Reading of Titus 3:3-8

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

In the Roman Catholic Lens tradition, we read Titus 3:3-8 as a profound reminder of the transformative power of God's grace, which is received through faith and the sacraments. This passage emphasizes the necessity of regeneration through Baptism, where we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. The text highlights the gratuitous nature of salvation, underscoring that it is not by our own works that we are saved, but through God's mercy and the gift of sanctifying grace. We see this as a call to live out our baptismal promises by cooperating with grace through good works, which are the fruit of faith.
