"When the Creation saw you
hanging on the Calvary
—You who hung the entire earth
upon the waters
with no purchase anywhere—
it marveled mightily,
crying ‘No one is holy but You, O Lord!’" — from “Poems on the Resurrection of Christ,” Kassia (9th century), The Greek Poets, trans. Vayos Liapis (via badwolfcomplex)
When we look at the Cross, we understand the greatness of his love. When we look at the crib, we understand the tenderness of his love for you and for me, for your family and every family.
