Οἱ ἐξ ὅλης διανοίας τὸν παντέφορον ἐπιβοώμενοι Κύριον, κἂν εἰς τὸ ἔσχατον τῶν κινδύνων ἀφίκοντο, πάντως τεύξονται τῆς ἄνωθεν ἀρωγῇς· ἐπήκοος γὰρ ὁ Δεσπότης γενόμενος ἐξ αὐτῆς μέσης ἐξαρπάσας τῆς ἀπωλείας πρὸς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ χαρὰν ἀναφέρει. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡΛΘ' Στεφανῳ Διακονῳ Source: Migne PG 79.141a |
They who with all their mind invoke the all seeing Lord, even being brought to the last point of perils, nevertheless may partake of aid from on high. For the Lord hearkening to them in the midst of their ruin brings them to eternal life and transports them to eternal joy. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 139 to Stephen the Deacon |
