Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia VI · §2

The linen tunic and the common man

The linen tunic against the skin is inward chastity. The “common” man is sin’s slave; the new priest is clothed with Christ.

Latin

Tunica linea ad cutem — castitas interior. Homo communis peccatis servus; sacerdos novus induitur Christo.
