John Chrysostom, on Prov 20:24

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Prov 20:24 · Douay-Rheims
“The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?”
On this verse:
“"The steps of man are directed by God." A mortal, that is a sinner [as such], cannot [of himself] know the ways of the Lord; in fact, since he is mortal, he has [of yet] neither died nor lived with Christ. Therefore in the journey to the kingdom of heaven the steps of man are directed by the Lord.”
