Pseudo-Augustine, on Tob 2:12
Tob 2:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.”
On this verse:
“The righteous are tested in order to bring about their improvement. This is why we must be strong in the face of temptations, knowing they do not occur in order to humiliate us but in order to make us grow if we face them with a serene mind for the sake of Christ.”
