Salmos 104:4
This is the way, dear friends, in which we found out salvation, namely Jesus Christ, the high priest of our offerings, the guardian and helper of our weakness. Through him let us look steadily into the heights of heaven; through him we see as in a mirror his faultless and transcendent face; through him the eyes of our hearts have been opened; through him our foolish and darkened mind springs up into the light; through him the Master has willed that we should taste immortal knowledge, for "he, being the radiance of his majesty, is as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent." For so it is written: "He makes his angels winds and his ministers flames of fire." But of his Son the Master spoke thus: "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the Gentiles for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession." And again he says to him, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." Who, then, are these enemies? Those who are wicked and resist his will. — 1 CLEMENT 36
