Gregory of Nyssa — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 6:20-23

Patristic A.D. 395
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
“(ubi sup.) For to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness He promises abundance of the things they desire. For none of the pleasures which are sought in this life can satisfy those who pursue them. But the pursuit of virtue alone is followed by that reward, which implants a joy in the soul that never faileth.”
