The Christ of the Temple
hrist is born
in a humble inn, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. Then
the Lord of heaven and earth, the creator of angels, the author and maker
of all things visible and invisible, suckles, cries, is nourished, grows,
endures his age, and hides his majesty.
Afterward he is bound, despised, scourged, jeered, spat at, struck, crowned with thorns, hung on a cross, and pierced with a spear. What poverty is there!
-- Sermon 14, 9
Prayer. Lord, I am poor and needy. I am better only when with heartfelt sorrow I renounce myself and seek your mercy so that my deficiencies are overcome and transformed.
-- Confessions 10, 38
