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
