“But why have we said all this, both once and a second time, that the peoples should confess to God? Why do we say this? Why do we urge this? The earth has given its fruit. The earth — holy Mary — from our earth, from our seed, from this clay, from this mud, from Adam. "You are earth, and into the earth you shall go."…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 6, on Psalm 66
