[Jesus] prays for us as our priest, he prays in us as our head, he is the object of our prayers as our God. Let us recognize both our voice in his, and his voice in ours. Himself unchanged, he took to himself our created nature in order to change it, and made us one with himself, head [Jesus] and body [the Church].
—Augustine, Commentary on Psalm 85.1
That is so right! Augustine really knew how to put it!
