Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VI · §2

Helper and protector become my salvation

He has become my helper and protector for salvation; the Lord is his name. Leaving Egypt is not enough; battle still needs a helper. This is the church’s song after the baptismal sea.

Latin

Adiutor et protector factus est mihi in salutem. Dominus nomen illi. Non sufficit Aegyptum exire; opus est adiutorio in pugna. Hic cantus ecclesiae post baptismum.
