The Master Christ made the remains of the saints to be fountains of salvation to us, pouring forth manifold blessings and abounding in oil of sweet fragrance: and let no one disbelieve this Aster., Hom. in SS. Mart.. For if water burst in the desert from the steep and solid rock at God’s will Ex. xvii. 6. and from the jaw-bone of an ass to quench Samson’s thirst Judg. xv. 17., is it incredible that fragrant oil should burst forth from the martyrs’ remains? By no means, at least to those who know the power of God and the honour which He accords His saints.
