I am everything....

 I am father, 

  I am brother, I am bridegroom,

  I am dwelling place, I am food, I am raiment,

  I am root, I am foundation:

  all whatsoever thou desirest, I am. 

  Be thou in need of nothing.

  I will be even a servant, 

  for I came to minister, not to be ministered unto;

  I am friend, and member, and head,

  and brother, and sister, and mother;

  I am all, only cling thou closely to Me.

  I was poor for thee, and a wanderer for thee,

  on the cross for thee, in the tomb for thee;

  above, I intercede for thee;

  on earth, I am come for thy sake

  an ambassador from My father.

  Thou art all things to Me:

  brother, and joint heir, and friend, and member.

  What wouldest thou more?

        (From St John Chrysostom's 76th Homily 

        on the Gospel of St Matthew)
