Partners in Christ’s death become doves by the Spirit
Those who receive Christ’s death become partners in the likeness of his death; those who receive the Spirit’s power, because he himself appeared in the form of a dove, themselves become doves, lifted by the Spirit’s wings toward the heavenly.
Latin
Qui mortem Christi recipiunt, consortes mortis eius fiunt; qui virtutem Spiritus recipiunt, quia ipse in specie columbae apparuit, etiam ipsi columbae fiunt, pennis Spiritus ad caelestia sublevati.
