| Καλὸν μὲν τὸ τιμᾷν τοὺς μάρτυρας τῆς εὐσεβείας τοῖς ἀναθήμασιν, ὅπερ αὐτὸς πεποίηκας. Κρεῖττον δὲ τὸ θεραπεύειν αὐτοὺς οἴς ἐποίησαν κατορθῶμασιν. Οἴς τοίνυν προσενήνοχας τὸν κόσμον, καρποφόρεσον αὐτοῖς καὶ τὸν τρόπον. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΡΠΘ', Σερηνῳ |
Beautiful it is to honour the witnesses of the faith with offerings, that which you have done. But better it is to cultivate that by which they achieved success. To those whom you have adorned, bring also the fruits of your conduct. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1 Letter 189, to Serenus |
