I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors, and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors - Isaiah 53
O Lord, You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand. Jeremiah 18. Isaiah 64.
(Saint) Peter Chrysologus: "The service of God is not a burden, but an honor: so far from branding us with the mark of slavery, it wipes it away."
(Saint) Ambrose of Milan: "There is no higher dignity than to serve Christ."
