Basil of Caesarea, on Ps 33:8

Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
Ps 33:8 · Douay-Rheims
“The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.”
On this verse:
“As the nature of honey can be described to the inexperienced not so much by speech as by the perception of it through taste, so the goodness of the heavenly Word cannot be clearly taught by doctrines, unless, examining to a greater extent the dogmas of truth, we are able to comprehend by our own experience the goodness of the Lord.”
