Patristic Quote of the Day

It is not in the presence of the multitude that he corrects their “little faith.” He calls them apart to correct them. Before the tempest of the waters he stills the tempest of their souls... He instructs them concerning how human fear emerges out of weakness of mind, not out of the actual approach of threatening trials.—St. Jn Chry. Hom 28 on St. Matt.
