“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision ; but a new creature”

Michael von Faulhaber (1869–1952) German Roman Catholic Cardinal

Sermon 1
Context: The people of Israel, through the Mother of the Saviour, were kinsmen of Christ. But in the kingdom of God ties of blood are not sufficient... Christ, therefore, rejects the ties of blood; He demands the tie of faith, the hearing of the word of God. Whoever is united with Christ by baptism and by living faith is mother or brother to Him. So the question is not : Was Christ a Jew or an Aryan? It is : Are we members of Christ by baptism and by faith? For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but a new creature (Gal. vi, 15).

“New space neither needs nor demands pictures - it is not a picture transposed on a surface. This explains the painters' hostility towards us [a. o.: Malevich ]: we are destroying the wall as the resting place for their pictures.”

El Lissitsky (1890–1941) Soviet artist, designer, photographer, teacher, typographer and architect
