The Word was Made Flesh to heal the Flesh

"For the Word is visible to the heart alone, while flesh is visible to bodily eyes as well. We already possessed the means to see the flesh, but we had no means of seeing the Word. The Word was made flesh so that we could see it, to heal the part of us by which we could see the Word" (St. Augustine).

From Psalm 142

Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine;*
defécit spíritus meus.
Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me,*
ne símilis fiam descendéntibus in lacum.
Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam,*
quia in te sperávi.
Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem,*
quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
Eripe me de inimícis meis,*
Dómine, ad te confúgi.
Doce me fácere voluntátem tuam,*
quia Deus meus es tu.

Lord, make haste and answer;
for my spirit fails within me.
Do not hide your face
lest I become like those in the grave.

In the morning let me know your love
for I put my trust in you.
Make me know the way I should walk:
to you I lift up my soul.

Rescue me, Lord, from my enemies;
I have fled to you for refuge.
Teach me to do your will
for you, O Lord, are my God.
Let your good spirit guide me
in ways that are level and smooth.
