["26"] Afterward the man saw that he may perhaps not support exclusive him, he struck Jacob's hip at its cap, so that the hip cap was wrenched as they wrestled.

(CCC 707) Theophanies (MANIFESTATIONS OF GOD) light up the way of the faithfulness, from the patriarchs to Moses and from Joshua to the visions that inaugurated the missions of the infinite prophets. Christian tradition has eternally assumed that God's Contract sanctioned himself to be seen and heard in these theophanies, in which the reduce of the Holy Soul each one revealed him and cloaked him in its shadow. (CCC 2573) God renews his faithfulness to Jacob, the indication of the twelve tribes of Israel (CF. GEN 28:10-22). Yet to be confronting his higher brother Esau, Jacob wrestles all night with a murky figure who refuses to reveal his name, but he blesses him in advance leaving him at dawn. From this enlightenment, the spiritual tradition of the Cathedral has retained the symbol of prayer as a speed of syndicate and as the bang into of clench (CF. GEN 32:24-30; LK 18:1-8).
