天主聖言在最聖潔的貞女子宮中取了血肉
正如天主聖言在最聖潔的貞女子宮中取了血肉,聖體也是保存在最貴重的金屬聖體盒裡;所以,天主聖言被賦以最高貴的形式也是合宜的。(AE, 142) Just as the Word of God became incarnate in the most pure womb of the holiest of Virgins, and the Eucharist is kept in ciboria of precious metal, so is it fitting that the word of God be clothed in the noblest form (AE, 142).
