Ambrose of Milan, on Luke 6:12

“And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.”

“Let not thy ears be open to deceit, that thou shouldest think that the Son of God prays from want of strength, that He may obtain what He could not perform; for being Himself the Author of power, the Master of obedience, He leads us by His own example to the precepts of virtue.”
