The great reversal is not only the Lord’s unseating of the mighty and raising the humble; it is also our own repentance. — John Howard Yoder

Let them become the body of Christ

“The faithful come to see and know the body of Christ, if they do not neglect to be the body of Christ. Let them become the body of Christ, if they wish to live according to Christ’s spirit.—Norunt fideles corpus Christi, si corpus Christi esse non negligant. Fiant corpus Christi, si volunt vivere de spiritu Christi.

—St. Augustine, Tractates on the Gospel of John, tr. 26, 13.
