Let this man Christ be your one teacher, this man who is, for your sake, a scroll written on the inside of the page and on the outside. Read of this man by reading him, learn from him by learning him. Copy from this pattern the pattern both on the inside and on the outside of yourselves, in your interior and in your behavior. Your lives should teach others to live as he lived. This is why we are told: ‘Glorify and carry God about in your bodies’. May he himself make us this very gift. Amen.
Isaac of Stella
