Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia VI · §1

Why the veil remains or is taken away

The Apostle says the veil is taken away for those who turn to the Lord. The high priest’s garments are not bare history; they veil mysteries of Christ and the church.

Latin

Apostolus dicit velamen auferri conversis ad Dominum. Indumenta pontificis non nudam historiam sed mysteria Christi et ecclesiae tegunt.
