Wishing You a Blessed Resurrection Feast

Israel passes dry over that sea, while the Egyptian who crosses in its track is overwhelmed.
Each fares according to the disposition that he carries with him;
one walks lightly enough, the other is dragged into the deep water.
For virtue is a light and buoyant thing, and all who live in its way
“fly like clouds,” as Isaiah says, “and as doves with their young ones.”
But sin is a heavy affair, “sitting,” as another of the prophets says, “on a talent of lead.”
St. Gregory of Nyssa
