Whenever you are concerned to think and act about your salvation, you must put away all thoughts of works, traditions and philosophy – indeed, of the law of God itself. And you must run directly to the manger and the mother’s womb, embrace this infant and virgin’s child in your arms, and look at Him – born, being nursed, growing up, going about in human society, teaching, dying, rising again, ascending above all the heavens, and having authority over all things. In this way you can shake off all terrors and errors, as the sun dispels the clouds. This vision will keep you on the proper way, so that you may follow where Christ has gone.
