“And the Word became Flesh
and dwelt among us,
full of Grace and Truth;
we have beheld His Glory,
Glory as of the Only Son from the Father.”
John 1:14
“Now this Word, Who was in God,
this Word, Who was God,
through Whom, all things were made
and without Whom, nothing was made,
in Whom, is Life – He has Come down to us.
What were we? Did we deserve Him to Come to us?
No, we were unworthy of His having compassion on us
but He was Worthy of taking pity on us.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father and Doctor of Grace
“Our Saviour, dearly beloved,
is born today;
let us rejoice!
It is not right to be sad today,
the natal day of Life –
He Who has dispelled the fear of mortality
and brought us to the joy of promised eternity.
Let no man be cut off from a share in this rejoicing.
The cause of our joy is common to every man
because, our Lord, the destroyer of sin and death,
Who finds none guiltless, Comes to free all.
Let the holy exult, he draws near his palm;
let the sinner rejoice, he is invited to pardon;
let the Gentile be quickened, he is called to Life!”
St Pope Leo the Great (400-461)
Father & Doctor of the Unity of the Church
