"Christ conquered the devil with the same weapons the devil used against
us: a virgin, a tree, and death. These tokens of our demise have now become
the tokens of our victory. Instead of Eve, there is Mary; instead of the
tree of knowledge, there is the Cross; and instead of Adam???s death, there
is the death of Christ."
St. John Chrysostom, On the Theotokos.
"Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and
disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall
perish." Isaiah 41:11
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
