Written with a Strange Beauty

'The law that is perfect because it takes away all imperfections 

is charity, and you find it written with a strange beauty 

when you gaze at Jesus your Savior 

stretched out like a sheet of parchment on the Cross, 

inscribed with wounds, 

illustrated in His own loving blood.  

Where else is there a comparable book of love to read from?' 

Blessed Jordan of Saxony
