96. How many masters has he who has forsaken
the One! But let us not forsake Him. Who would forsake Him
Whom they follow bound with chains indeed, but chains of love, which
set free and do not bind, those chains in which they who are bound
boast, saying: “Paul the bondservant of Jesus Christ, and
Timothy.” Phil. i. 1. It
is more glorious for us to be bound by Him, than to be set free and
loosed from others. Who then would flee from peace? Who
would flee from salvation? Who would flee from mercy? Who
would flee from redemption?
