10       Types,3|         from scribes and Pharisees, Christ, who approached prostitutes,
11       Types,3|           by spiritual hygiene. But Christ told us, it is not the healthy
12       Types,3|             of faithful servants of Christ, a world of knowledge of

17       Types,4|        Jesus, save us!" But between Christ and the crowd will stand
18       Types,4|         will stand the guardians of Christ's seamless robe, who will

21       Types,4|         beauty of the services. But Christ will go out on to the porch
22       Types,4|         embittered, the holy fools. Christ will go out into the streets,
23       Types,4|          and dives. Again and again Christ lays down his life for his
24       Types,4|         ugliness in comparison with Christ, his eternal truth and eternal
25       Types,4|         beauty, will not comprehend Christ's beauty, and will not let
26       Types,4|           that should serve only as Christ's outer garment, an offering
27       Types,4|          genius brought lovingly to Christ. But when the splendor of

29       Types,4|              And here, as a result, Christ's servants, the priests --
30       Types,4|             powerless to witness to Christ's Truth before a secularized

40       Types,6|        immediate consciousness that Christ is calling me to a particular
41       Types,6|          are objective indications.~Christ gave us two commandments:
42       Types,6|          themselves the totality of Christ's "Good News." Furthermore,
43       Types,6|            Good News." Furthermore, Christ's earthly life is nothing
44       Types,7|           will be a relationship in Christ. This is, of course, a very
45       Types,7|             to see that the face of Christ's truth is revealed more
46       Types,7|             the path of Godmanhood, Christ's path upon earth. The Word
47       Types,7|           and self-humbling love of Christ. Everything else is present
48       Types,7| condescension to humanity.~What was Christ's love like? Did it withhold
49       Types,7|           Where was it ever stingy? Christ's humanity was spit upon,
50       Types,7|            upon, struck, crucified. Christ's divinity was incarnate
51       Types,7|        miracles he performed -- did Christ ever give any occasion to
52       Types,7|           come to from the whole of Christ's earthly ministry. But
53       Types,7|          only pay attention to what Christ taught us. He said: "If
54       Types,7|            changing everything into Christ's love, taking it up as
55       Types,7|         word "soul" here as "life." Christ is speaking here precisely
56       Types,7|             everything is given up.~Christ's disciples followed in
57       Types,7|           accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren" (
58       Types,7|           no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me" (Gal. 2:
59       Types,7|           such an estrangement from Christ is an estrangement from

61       Types,7|            is folly, foolishness in Christ. It is the opposite of the
62       Types,7|         soul. It is separation from Christ in the name of one's brothers.
63       Types,7|         opposes this commandment of Christ but simply fails to understand
64       Types,7|           By absenting himself from Christ in an act of the uttermost
65       Types,7|           is genuine, then he meets Christ himself face to face in
66       Types,7|           with him he communes with Christ himself. That from which
67       Types,7|        hearts is Love itself. It is Christ.~We are not speaking here
68       Types,7|             in partial imitation of Christ's self-emptying of himself
69       Types,7|            we will encounter in him Christ himself, face to face. He
70       Types,7|          will, our lack of faith in Christ's help. One must really
71       Types,7|           must really be a fool for Christ in order to travel this
72       Types,7|          again and again, encounter Christ. This alone is our all-consuming
73       Types,7|     symbolism, all its power. In it Christ again and again is voluntarily
74       Types,7|    communion in his Body and Blood, Christ not only saves the world
75       Types,7|        makes each person himself a "christ," and unites him to his
76       Types,7|            himself -- in himself -- Christ offers the world as well
77       Types,7|           accomplished sacrifice of Christ and of Christ-like human
78       Types,7|           mystery. It reveals to us Christ's sacrifice as a sacrifice
79       Types,7|           be transubstantiated into Christ's love, that he may be born
80       Types,7|        should live anew but so that Christ should live in us, becoming
81       Types,7|              Then truly in all ways Christ will be in all.~Here we
82       Types,7|           only path toward becoming Christ, the only path which the
83       Types,7|          must give up one's soul to Christ in order that he may offer
84       Types,7|          person in the sacrifice of Christ, in flesh of Christ. This
85       Types,7|    sacrifice of Christ, in flesh of Christ. This is the only injunction
86       Types,7|            we have received through Christ's preaching of the Gospel,
87       Types,7|          world. It should incarnate Christ himself in the world. Even
88       Types,7|             spirit, to be fools for Christ, who are called to persecution
89       Types,7|            disdained and humiliated Christ. And we not only believe
