Ἡ μήτηρ προσάγεται τὰ παιδία, καὶ ἡμεῖς ζητοῦμεν τὴν
μητέρα τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Τὸ μὲν τοίνυν καὶ ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἁπαλὸν ἅπαν, ἅτε δι᾿ ἀσθένειαν
ᾗ βοηθείας δεόμενον, κεχαρισμένον τέ ἐστι, καὶ ἡδὺ, καὶ τερπνὸν, τοῦ
θυμικοῦ ἱσταμένου τοῦ τηλικῷδε τὴν βοήθειαν· . . . (PG 8:273)
The mother brings the children forward, and we seek the
mother, the Church. Now, everything that is weak and tender, since by its
weakness it is in need of help, is both cherished, sweet, and
delightful, as the spirited part of the soul stands ready to offer assistance
to such a one.
