For, “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteous- ness, for they shall be filled.”2030 But He can in mercy look upon our infirmity, and see us, as it is said, “Remember that we are dust.”2031 He who from the dust made and quickened man, for that His work of clay’s sake, gave His Only Son to death.
