Today's excerpt is from St. Bernard:

"All that Jesus Christ did for us has been meritorious for us; it has all been necessary and advantageous to our salvation; His very weakness has been for us no less useful than His majesty. For, if by the power of His divinity He has released us from the captivity of sin, He has also, through the weakness of His flesh, destroyed death's rights. As the Apostle so beautifully said, 'the weakness of God is stronger than men'; indeed, by this folly He has been pleased to save the world by combating the wisdom of the world and confounding the wise; for, possessing the nature of God and being equal to God, He abased Himself, taking the form of a servant; being rich, He became poor for love of us: being great, He became little; being exalted, humble; He became weak, who was powerful; He suffered hunger and thirst, He wore himself out on the roads and suffered of His own free will and not by necessity. This type of folly, I repeat: has it not meant for us a way of wisdom, a model of justice and an example of holiness, as the same Apostle says: 'The foolishness of God is wiser than men'? So true is this, that death has freed us from death, life has freed us from error, and grace from sin." ("De Laudibus Novae Militiae", XI, 27).

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
