Gregory the Great — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 18:9-14

Patristic A.D. 604

Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604

“(19. Mor. c. 21.) So it was pride that laid bare to his wily enemies the citadel of his heart, which prayer and fasting had in vain kept closed. Of no use are all the other fortifications, as long as there is one place which the enemy has left defenceless.”
