"Let us offer to Him ourselves,

the possession most precious to God, and most fitting;

Let us give back to the Image what is made after the Image.

Let us recognize our Dignity;

Let us honor our Archetype;

Let us know the power of the Mystery, and for what Christ died.

Let us become like Christ, since Christ became like us."

​

-Gregory of Nazianzus (c. 329-390)
