“Christ the Rock was smitten by Divine Justice for sinners. He was stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. The curse of the law subjected him to the ignominious cross, and the Divine wrath. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was pierced for our iniquities.” From that smitten Rock proceeded Divine refreshing streams . . .
 of pardon, 
 of justification, 
 of sanctification,  
of glorification, etc.”
