Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia XV · §2

House in an unwalled village like a field

A house in an unwalled village is like a field — always redeemable. Open humility to the Redeemer. Christ is our field.

Latin

Domus in vico sine muro sicut ager — semper redimi potest. Humilitas aperta redemptori. Christus ager noster.
