Into the ancient Holy LandBehold, the Son of God is come to Man.Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei
In innocence fall all heroes and their creedsAn age is done, an age from here proceeds.Qui pro vobis et pro multis effendetur
In remissionem peccatorumWhat consuming pagan fires could not do:A covenant of love and Word made flesh, in you.Hoc est enim Corpus MeumSleep swells His breast, though heavy pressed,By Golgotha, and Adam's sin,and the hopes of he who signs his name herein.Joyous Christmas,Jesse
"O that I could find in the desert a wayside shelter for travelers, that I might depart from my people. For they are all adulterers, an unfaithful mob of traitors. Their tongues are devious weapons, bent like drawn bows. With falsehoods rather than truth they have gained power. They commit one crime after another. They do not know me, says the Lord. I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, the lair of jackals. I will lay waste to Judah, a desolation where no one can live."
Jeremiah 9:2-3,11
