15. And the same Scripture teaches you
concerning the infusion of special grace, that he kisses Christ who
receives the Spirit, where the holy prophet says: “I opened
my mouth and drew in the Spirit.” Ps. cxix.
[cxviii.] 131. He, then, kisses Christ who
confesses Him: “For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.” Rom. x. 10. He,
again, kisses the feet of Christ who, when reading the Gospel,
recognizes the acts of the Lord Jesus, and admires them with pious
affection, and so piously he kisses, as it were, the footprints of the
Lord Jesus as He walks. We kiss Christ, then, with the kiss of
communion: “Let him that readeth
understand.” S. Matt. xxiv. 15.
