The Mole And The Faithless


Ἀσπάλαξ ὑπὸ γῆν ἕρπων τυφλος ὤν, ἀστέρας ἰδεῖν οὐ δύναται· καὶ ὁ μὴ πιστεύων περὶ προσκαίρων οὔτε περὶ τῶν αἰωνίων πιστεύειν δύναται.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι

Source: Migne PG 65 941

 
The mole crawling blindly beneath the earth is unable to see the stars; and he who has no faith in God concerning transient things, cannot have faith concerning eternal things.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works.
