“This, beloved, is the way
in which we found our salvation,
Jesus Christ, the High Priest
Who offers our gifts,
the Patron and Helper
in our weakness (Heb 10:20; 7:27; 4:15).
It is through Him,
that we look straight at the heavens above.
Through Him, we see mirrored,
God’s faultless and transcendent countenance.
Through Him, the eyes of our heart were opened.
Through Him, our unintelligent
and darkened mind
shoots up into the light.
Through Him, the Master was pleased
to let us taste the knowledge
that never fades,”
St Pope Clement I (c 35 – c 99)

a living force for all mankind,

who is the Light of Heaven.”

to be near the light,
if the eyes are closed.”

Life of our mortality
and Death to our death.
He is the Master of the virtues.
He is God to us …!”
