ACC ~ Acts 1 v24

GOD KNOWS THE HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE. AMBROSE: The imperial power is great, but consider … how great God is. He sees the hearts of all; he probes their inmost conscience; he knows all things before they come to pass; he knows the innermost secrets of your heart. You do not allow yourself to be deceived; do you expect to hide anything from God? LETTER 11 (57).

THE LORD CHOOSES. CHRYSOSTOM: Why did Peter not ask Christ to give him someone to replace Judas? It is better as it is. For in the first place, they were engaged in other things; second, this was the greatest proof of Christ’s presence with them. For just as he chose when he was among them, so he chose now in absence. This was no small consolation. HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 3.
