The Faith of Abraham
et us every day
do our best to advance in God, and to be unsparing with the transitory
possessions we are going to leave behind us in this world. Let us pay attention
to Abraham's faith, because he was also our father. Let us imitate his
devotion and faith.
We are Christians, and strangers on earth. Let none of us be frightened; our native land is not in this world.
-- Sermon 16A, 13
Prayer. God examines both rich and poor, not according to their lands and houses, but according to the riches of their hearts.
-- Commentary on Psalm 48 (1), 3
