God's compassion for us is all the more wonderful because Christ died not for the righteous or holy but for the wicked and the sinful, and, though the divine nature could not be touched by the sting of death, he took to himself, through his birth as one of us, something he could offer up on our behalf. - St. Leo the Great, Sermon for Good Friday *Christian Prayer* p. 1984
