...which we anticipated and so celebrated yesterday:The cross has taken away sin; it was an expiation for the world, a reconciliation for the ancient enmity. It opened the gates of heaven, changed those who hated into friends; it took our human nature, led it up to heaven, and seated it at the right hand of God's throne. And it brought to us ten thousand other blessings. - St. John Chrysostom (Discourse III:IV:7 - Against Judaizing Christians)
Happy Feast Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mimi! To you and your family also! We're headed into St. Louis this evening for a Gregorian Solemn Vespers in celebration of the Feast at Emmaus Lutheran Church - looking forward to it!
