Let us become like Christ, since Christ became like us. Let us become
God's for His sake, since He for our sake became Man. He assumed the
worse that He might give us the better; He became poor that we through
His poverty might be rich; He took upon Him the form of a servant
that we might receive back our liberty; He came down that we might
be exalted; He was tempted that we might conquer; He was dishonored
that He might glorify us; He died that He might save us; He ascended
that He might draw to Himself us, who were lying low in the Fall of
sin. Let us give all, offer all, to Him Who gave Himself a Ransom
and a Reconciliation for us. But one can give nothing like oneself,
understanding the Mystery, and becoming for His sake all that He became
for ours. from A
Proclamation of Easter by Gregory of Nazienzen
