Fathers

Homilies on Judges, Homilia I · §4

They knew the Lord’s works

In the days of the elders who knew all the works the Lord did for Israel. To know the works is not by rumor alone but by sight and share. In the church let us know Christ’s works in us — then we have Jesus’ days. Glory forever. Amen.

Latin

In diebus seniorum qui cognoverunt omnia opera Domini quae fecit in Israel. Cognoscere opera non fama sola sed visione et participatione. Nos in ecclesia cognoscamus opera Christi in nobis — tunc dies Iesu habemus. Gloria in saecula. Amen.
