Nazianzi Szent Gergely idézet

Nazianzi vagy Nazianzoszi Gergely , egyházi nevén Nazianzi Szent Gergely teológus, Konstantinápoly püspöke 379-től 381-ig I. Gergely néven. Filozófusként és klasszikus szónokként bevitte a hellenizmus szellemét a korai egyházba. A Szentháromság teológusának is nevezik, mert jelentős szerepe volt a Szentháromság teológiájának megalkotásában. Egyike a három kappadókiai atyáknak. A keleti katolikus egyházak és az ortodox kereszténység a három szent főpap közé sorolja Nagy Szent Vazullal és Aranyszájú Szent Jánossal együtt. Wikipedia

Nazianzi Szent Gergely: Idézetek angolul

“But as the old confusion of tongues was laudable, when men who were of one language in wickedness and impiety, even as some now venture to be, were building the Tower; for by the confusion of their language the unity of their intention was broken up, and their undertaking destroyed; so much more worthy of praise is the present miraculous one. For being poured from One Spirit upon many men, it brings them again into harmony. And there is a diversity of Gifts, which stands in need of yet another Gift to discern which is the best, where all are praiseworthy.”

“Let me be as the Prophet Jonah! I was responsible for the storm, but I would sacrifice myself for the salvation of the ship. Seize me and throw me... I was not happy when I ascended the throne, and gladly would I descend it.”

Concerning his resignment from his office as Patriarch of Constantinople

“I offer this gift to my God, I dedicate this gift to Him. Only this remains to me as my treasure. I gave up everything else at the command of the Spirit. I gave all that I had to obtain the pearl of great price. Only in words do I master it, as a servant of the Word. I would never intentionally wish to disdain this wealth. I esteem it, I set value by it, I am comforted by it more than others are comforted by all the treasures of the world. It is the companion of all my life, a good counselor and converser; a guide on the way to Heaven and a fervent co-ascetic.”
