Notas del episodio
The Word did not empty Himself into sound and vanish. Augustine says the thought stays whole while it becomes speech—and so the Divine Word became flesh without change of nature, healer and medicine in one. Pride had wounded us; humility bound the wound. On Christian Doctrine then follows that medicine all the way home: resurrection and judgment, a Church purged by affliction, keys that bind and loose, a body that dies and will rise. The Confessions will not let the past and future be dismissed as nothing: if prophets saw what is not yet, and memory tells what no longer is, those times are somewhere. Aquinas names the disease under the bandage. Pride is the refusal of measure—the will to be uncorrectable.
