Augustine of Hippo

"Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let Thy saints sing with joyfulness" [Psalm 132:9]. When Thou risest from the dead, and goest unto Thy Father, let that royal Priesthood be clothed with faith, since "the righteous liveth by faith;" [Romans 1:17] and, receiving the pledge of the Holy Spirit, let the members rejoice in the hope of resurrection, which went before in the Head: for to them the Apostle saith, "Rejoicing in hope." [Romans 12:12]
