Gregory of Nyssa — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 16:27-31

Patristic A.D. 395
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
“(lib. de Anima.) But we are also taught something besides, that the soul of Lazarus is neither anxious about present things, nor looks back to aught that it has left behind, but the rich man, (as it were caught by birdlime,) even after death is held down by his carnal life. For a man who becomes altogether carnal in his heart, not even after he has put off his body is out of the reach of his passions.”
