For this reason one hears what is said, so that he might complete the work of obedience. On this day the Lord was born, the life and the salvation of men. Today is born Him who reconciles divinity to humanity and humanity to divinity. Today all creation leaps for joy. Those from on high send for those below and those below for the ones above.
Today is born the death of darkness and the life of man.
Today is born the path towards God for men and the way of God into the soul. This emptiness of the soul and its disappearance are spoken of in riddles, for there was neither a path for God into the soul and the understanding of man nor could the soul walk to God. Today the plains and all that are in them rejoice, for the earth of the soul receives the waters of heaven. The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty. Because earlier our lord and king Adam, being established, indeed through transgression he became the slave of sin.
