9 34| the knowledge of Jesus Christ" and for putting on Him
10 34| failed to discern the lowly Christ in His lowly Scriptures:~
11 37| first put on the garment of Christ. . .I, who follow no other
12 37| follow no other leader save Christ, associate myself with Your
13 45| called to "bear the yoke of Christ" and preach His word. His
14 53| desert the path mapped out by Christ and His Apostles, who, while
15 54| but follow this example of Christ and His Apostles; if they
16 55| faulty interpretation we make Christ's Gospel into man's Gospel."[99]
17 60| privileges were set forth by Christ and His Apostles. Small

19 60| children are fighting for Christ. May He in whom we believe
20 60| the heretics; yet through Christ's mercy it is filled with
21 61| anxious "to present," unto Christ "the Church in all her glory,
22 61| The believing soul is Christ's true temple. Adorn it,
23 61| gifts to it, in it receive Christ. Of what profit to have
24 61| glittering with jewels while Christ dies of hunger in poverty?"[116]~
25 62| for praising the Spouse of Christ:~The choicest things of
26 62| go up if we would come to Christ and to the House of the
27 63| the intimate union between Christ and His Church. For since

35 64| everything in the Bible to Christ:~When I read the Gospel
36 64| the Prophets, I see only Christ; I so see Moses and the
37 64| and I understand them of Christ. Then when I come to the
38 64| come to the splendor of Christ Himself, and when I gaze
39 64| not show. So, too, when Christ is present the Law and the
