1. The birthday of Christ destroys the fear of mortality – St Leo the Great
1. The birthday of Christ destroys the fear of mortality – St Leo the Great“Our Saviour, dearly-beloved, was born today: let us be glad.

No one is kept from sharing in this happiness.

2. In front of our wickedness God bore with us and loved us – Epistle to Diogentus
2. In front of our wickedness God bore with us and loved us – Epistle to Diogentus“But when our wickedness had reached its height, and it had been clearly shown that its reward, punishment and death, was impending over us; and when the time had come which God had before appointed for manifesting His own kindness and power, how the one love of God, through exceeding regard for men, did not regard us with hatred, nor thrust us away, nor remember our iniquity against us, but showed great long-suffering, and bore with us, He Himself took on Him the burden of our iniquities, He gave His own Son as a ransom for us, the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for those who are mortal.
Epistle to Diogentus, 9
