ACC ~ Luke 9 v24 - 25

WHAT PROVES HARD GIVES JOY TO THE SAINTS

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: What fear, therefore, can the saints now feel, if that which seemed to be hard proves rather joyous to them that bear it. COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 50. [1]

RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERS FROM DEATH

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: Even though one has wealth and abundance of possessions, yet what profit has he from them when he has lost himself? Treasures profit not the wicked, but the fashion of this world passes away; and like clouds those pleasures recede, and riches fly away from those that possess them. But righteousness delivers from death. COMMENTARY ON LUKE, HOMILY 50. [1]
