The Church and the Firm Foundation of Christ
We
know how, for the sake of the name of the Lord, trials have beset alike
individuals and cities that have put their trust in Him. Nevertheless, one and
all have passed away, and the distress caused by the days of darkness has not
been everlasting. For just as when hail-storm and flood, and all natural
calamities, at once injure and destroy things that have no strength, while they
are only themselves affected by falling on the strong, so the terrible trials
set in action against the Church have been proved feebler than the firm
foundation of our faith in Christ.
St. Basil the
Great
