Quotemeal: Jul. 3rd, 1963

Wednesday, July 3, 1963

"It is a great mystery of divine love, that not even in Christ was exception made of the death of the body; and although He was the Lord of nature, He refused not the law of the flesh which He had taken upon Him. It is necessary for me to die; for Him it was not necessary."
— St. Ambrose
