Religion | | English term or phrase: tender fashion of His making | I am translating 'A Devout Excercise of the Purgative Way' by Denys the Carthusian.
The phrase above comes from the following:
Friday
Of Our Lord's Passion
Behold and see, my soul, how much and how dearly Christ, God's only begotten Son hath loved thee. He was made man for thee; and for thee died a most bitter death. His sufferings verily were all the sharper from the tender fashion of His making.
See how those ruthless men seized Him and held Him, Christ Jesus, the most loving Son of God! See how they bound Him and dragged Him off. [This is followed by a detailed description of Christ's passion based on the Holy Scripture.]
I am not sure what 'making' means here and how it links with the 'tender fashion'. |

His sufferings were in direct contrast to his birth which was a result of the immaculate conception, which meant that he was born without sin. |
