State super vias et videte et interrogate de semitis antiquis quae sit via bona et ambulate in ea et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris

Drunks and Teaching

Μεθυσθήσονται ἀπὸ πιότητος τοῦ οἴκου σου.

Οἰκου θεοῦ τῆς ἐκκλησίας τυγχανούσης, πιότης αὐτοῦ ἡ ἐκκλησιαστικὴ διδασκαλία τυγχάνει. ἀπὸ ταύτης νηφάλιον μεθυσθήσονται μέθην οἱ περιεχόμενοι αὐτῆς. εἰ δὲ οἰκος θεοῦ εἰη ὁ σωτήρ, ἀπὸ τῆς παιδεύσεως αὐτοῦ οὐσης
πιότητος μεθυσθήσονται οἱ ἀπολαύοντες αὐτῆς.

 
Δυδυμος του Αλεξανδρεως, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΛΕ'

They shall be intoxicated by the richness of your house. 1
 
The house of God being the Church, the richness of it is the teaching of the Church. And they are intoxicated to sobriety who come to it to drink. And if we say the house of God is the Saviour, then from His teaching is the richness which shall intoxicate them and make them joyful.


Didymus the Blind, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 35

1 Ps 35.9
