Gregory the Great, on 2Cor 11:29
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
2Cor 11:29 · Douay-Rheims
“Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?”
On this verse:
“For the cross is taken up in two ways: either when the body is afflicted through abstinence, or when the mind is troubled through compassion for one's neighbor. Let us hear of the cross of the mind in compassion for one's neighbor. For Paul says: "Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?" Indeed the perfect preacher, in order to give an example of abstinence, carried the cross in his body. And because he drew upon himself the losses of another's weakness, he carried the cross in his heart.”
