He who makes rich is made poor;
he takes on the poverty of my flesh,
that I may gain the riches of his divinity.
He who is full is made empty;
he is emptied for a brief space of his glory,
that I may share in his fulness.
…
Christ the light of lights, follows John,
the lamp that goes before him.
The Word of God follows the voice in the wilderness;
the bridegroom follows the bridegroom’s friend,
who prepares a worthy people for the Lord
by cleansing them by water in preparation for the Spirit.
