St. Gregory of Nyssa on Scripture


"Just as at the sea those who are carried away from the direction of the harbor bring themselves back on course by a clear sign, on seeing a tall beacon light or some mountain peak coming into view, so Scripture may guide those adrift on the sea of life back into the harbor of the divine will" - St. Gregory of Nyssa

  3. actually, it's more of a dialogue. Balthasar points out that a great portion of the breviary is passages of other authors repeating things from Origen.
