Yesterday I was buried \nwith him; today I rise again with him. Today let us offer him\, not gold or silver \nor precious things\, – rather\, let us offer him ourselves\, which to God is the most \nprecious and becoming of gifts. Let us offer to His image what is made in the \nimage and likeness of the Image. And let us recognize our own dignity. Let us \ngive honor to Him in whose likeness we were made. Let us dwell upon the \nwonder of this mystery\, that we may understand for what Christ has died. \nLet us become like Christ\, since Christ became like us. Let us become \nGods because of Him\, since He for us became man. He took upon Himself a low \ndegree that He might give us a higher one. He became poor\, that through His \npoverty we might become rich. He took upon Himself the form of a servant that \nwe might be delivered from slavery. He came down that we might rise up. He \nwas tempted that we might learn to overcome. He was despised that we might \nbe given honor. He died that He might save us from death. He ascended to \nheaven that we who lie prone in sin may be lifted up to Him. \nLet each one of you give all to Him. Offer all to Him Who gave Himself in \nexchange for us\, as the price of our redemption. But should come to \nunderstand this mystery in Christ\, and that what He did He has done for \, \n shall give nothing unless give own selves. For all that is His \nHe has given you. \n  \n7 The Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers – vol. 2 – Henry Regnery Co – Chicago – 1958 – pg \n220.
