Excerpt

"He was led as a sheep to slaughter, when he was not a sheep; he is compared to the dumb lamb, when he was not a lamb. Indeed, the figure has passed, and the truth has been realized: God replaced the lamb, and a man the sheep , in this man, Christ, who contains all things " According to St,Melito of Sardis, Ancient Eunuch and Saint (c 2nd century-180 AD) Homily on the Passion London Christopher's Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania press Baltimore , Md, WAVERLYPRESS 58.64 ... 71, SC 123, p. 93..123.Saint Meliton of Sardis, Homily on the Passion, 2, 7, 65-71, Christian Sources n ° 123, pp. 60-64, 120-122. and https://www.crossroadsinitiative.com/media/articles/on-the-passover/

St. Augustine

O Thou Good Omnipotent, Who so carest for every one of us, as if Thou carest for him alone; and so for all, as if all were but one! Blessed is the man who loveth Thee, and his friend in Thee, and his enemy for Thee. For he only loses none dear to him, to whom all are dear in Him who cannot be lost. And who is that but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, even by filling them creating them. And Thy law is truth, and the truth is Thyself. I behold how some things pass away that others may replace them, but Thou dost never depart, O God, my Father supremely good, Beauty of all things beautiful. To Thee will I intrust whatsoever I have received from Thee, so shall I lose nothing. Thou madest me for Thyself, and my heart is restless until it reposes in Thee. Amen.
