Blessed Apostles Fast!
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:21-22).
Since the Lord has appointed us to direct the ship of His church, let us with His help and the direction of the two Testaments govern the ship of His church that we may not, through some negligence, turn aside either to the right or to the left but may without effort keep a straight course of life amid the great dangers of this world. Just as any ship cannot gather earthly profits without many tribulations, so too must we suffer tribulations to gain spiritual profit. For just as pilots of ships, if they fail to be alert because of an excessive desire for sleep or false sense of security, immediately suffer shipwreck, so too [we suffer shipwreck] unless [we] are vigilant in keeping the straight path of eternal life..,. For this reason, with the inspiration and assistance of the Lord, let us endeavor as far as it lies in our power to inform by word and example the people entrusted to our care. – Casesarius of Arles
