Christ revealed our frailty and our falling, *our trespasses and our humiliations.

Christ also revealed his blessed power, *his blessed wisdom and love.

He protects us as tenderly and as sweetly when we are in greatest need; *he raises us in spirit and turns everything to glory and joy without ending.

God is the ground and the substance, the very essence of nature; *God is the true father and mother of natures.

We are all bound to God by nature, *and we are all bound to God by grace.

And this grace is for all the world, *because it is our precious mother, Christ.

For this fair nature was prepared by Christ for the honor and nobility of all, *and for the joy and bliss of salvation.
