To the Nicopolitans.Letter CCXLVI. 3084To the Nicopolitans.I am filled with distress at seeing evil on the high road to success, while you, my reverendfriends, are faint <strong>and</strong> failing under continuous calamity. But when again I bethink me ofthe mighty h<strong>and</strong> of God, <strong>and</strong> reflect that He knows how to raise up them that are brokendown, to love the just, to crush the proud <strong>and</strong> to put down the mighty from their seats, thenagain my heart grows lighter by hope, <strong>and</strong> I know that through your prayers the calm thatthe Lord will show us will come soon. Only grow not weary in prayer, but in the presentemergency strive to give to all a plain example by deed of whatever you teach by word.3084 Placed in 376.795
