XX. Cur Deus vir nominatur
XX. Cur Deus vir nominatur
This man, of such great stature that he reaches from the heights of the clouds to the depths of the abyss, signifies God, who is rightly called a man, since all power and everything that lives comes from him.
Read the original Latin
Vir enim iste tantae proceritatis, quod a summitate nubium coeli usque in abyssum pertingit, Deum designat, qui juste vir nominatur, quoniam omnis vis et omnia quae vivunt, ab ipso procedunt.
