Didymus the Blind, on 2Cor 1:3
Didymus the Blind · c. A.D. 313–398
2Cor 1:3 · Douay-Rheims
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.”
On this verse:
“God alone is holy and good, sanctifying others and making them good. He alone is blessed, because he gives blessing and does not receive it from someone else. Likewise, he is the Father of mercies by nature, because he is the source of all mercy and not because he has acquired this from anyone else.”
