Love Poured Out:

The infinite love that the Son expressed in his Person had to be poured out completely in a human way, all the way to death. Because he became one of us and because at the same time he is the eternal Son, he suffered the suffering of all, those who lived and died before him…and all those who will ever live.

Thanks be to you, good Jesus, who, moved by the holy entreaties of your servant, broke my bonds and cast upon me the bonds of your love. If I continue to be held in them, the bonds of sin will never regain their strength.

- St. Hilary of Arles (400-449)
