Salmos 39:3
In the Gospel it was written, after the Lord spoke to Cleopas, "Was not our heart burning within us when he opened the Scriptures to us?" Where will you burn? Where will "the coals of fire" be found in you who are never set on fire by the declaration of the Lord, never inflamed by the words of the Holy Spirit? Hear also … David … saying, "My heart burned within me, and in my meditation fire became inflamed." From where do you glow? Where is the fire kindled in you? — HOMILIES ON LEVITICUS 9:9.7
Salmos 39:7
We will have to say that if we give in to troubles, we do not believe in him insofar as he is endurance; and if we are weak, we have not believed in him insofar as he is strength. — COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 19:157
