Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VI · §7

In your justice you led this people

In your justice you led this people whom you redeemed. Not our merits but God’s justice. Redemption comes first; grace opens the road.

Latin

Deduxisti iustitia tua populum tuum hunc quem redemisti. Non meritis nostris sed iustitia Dei. Redemptio praecedit ductum; gratia viam aperit.
