Are you so foolish so as not to realize that you are representing our Paschal mysteries and that, when you smear doorposts with lines of the old law, you are in every way portraying the sacrament that is safeguarded by the true victim’s death, the sacrifice that safeguards our frame by the blood that was shed and smears our bodily home with the sign of the cross on our foreheads?
Non sapis, inprudens, nostrum te effingere pascha,
legis et antiquae praeductis pingere sulcis
omne sacramentum retinet quod passio vera,
passio, quae nostrum defendit sanguine frontem
corporeamque domum signato conlinit ore?
