“Rejoice, you just – it is the birthday of the Justifier.
Rejoice, you who are weak and sick –
it is the birthday of the Savior, the Healer.
Rejoice, captives – it is the birthday of the Redeemer.
Rejoice, slaves – it is the birthday of the one who makes you lords.
Rejoice, free people – it is the birthday of the one who makes you free.
Rejoice, all Christians – it is the birthday of Christ.”
~ St. Augustine, 4th century AD
