For Your Consideration

St. Gregory of Nyssa-Lightness of Virtue

"For virtue is a light and buoyant thing, and all who live in her way 'fly like clouds' as Isaiah says, 'and as doves with their young ones'; but sin is a heavy affair, as another of the prophets says, 'sitting upon a talent of lead.'"

St. Gregory of Nyssa
