"We testify that when He (Jesus) came into the world, He shed the splendour of His glory upon all
created things.   Through Him  the leper recovered  from the leprosy of perversity   and  ignorance. Through Him,  the unchaste and  wayward were healed.  Through His  Power, born  of  Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened, and the soul of the sinner sanctified."
