"And sometimes their soul is in a state just like everyone else's."

     Pseudo-Makarios/Macarius (late 4th/early 5th cent.), spiritual homily 18.9, as trans. for the Office of Readings, Friday of Week 4 in Ordinary Time, by Universalis.  Greek from PG 34, col. 640D, not the critical edition.  A. J. Mason's Fifty spiritual homilie of 1921 appears to leave this sentence out, though I have requested the critical edition.  But it is there in the Maloney translation of 1992, albeit as follows (Pseudo-Macarius:  the fifty spiritual homilies and the Great letter, Classics of Western Spirituality (New York:  Paulist Press, 1992), 145):

At another time one becomes one with all human beings.

"But behold again a Virgin, a tree, and a death"

"The Cross is the Father’s will, the glory of the Only-begotten, the Spirit’s exultation, the beauty [(κόσμος)] of the angels, the guardian of the Church. Paul glories in the Cross; it is the rampart of the saints, it is the light of the whole world."
