On Baptism
We
must not expect baptism to free us from the temptations our persecutor. The
body that concealed him made even the Word of God a target for the enemy; his
assumption of a visible form made even the Invisible Light an object of attack.
Nevertheless, since we have no fear of the struggle. Flaunt in his face the
water and the Spirit!
St. Gregory of
Nazianzus, Forth Century
