Weakness Becomes Strong
e lies in the
manger, but contains the world; he nurses at the breasts, but feeds the
angels; he is wrapped in swaddling clothes, but vests us with immortality;
he found no place in the inn, but makes for himself a temple in the hearts
of believers.

-- Sermon 190, 4
Prayer. My faith prays to you, Lord, the faith you gave me, and inspired in me by the Incarnation of your Son and the mission of your preacher.
