“O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came.
O wisest love! That flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail
Should strive afresh against the foe, should strive and should prevail.
And that a higher gift than grace should flesh and blood refine:
God’s presence and His very self essence all-divine.”
St. John Henry Cardinal Newman
