Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 19:38-42

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“Even now in a certain sense Christ is put to death by the avaritious, in the person of the poor man suffering famine. Be therefore a Joseph, and cover Christ’s nakedness, and, not once, but continually by contemplation, embalm Him in thy spiritual tomb, cover Him, and mix myrrh and bitter aloes; considering that bitterest sentence of all, Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire. (Matt. 25:41)”
