Theodoret of Cyrrhus → Salustius Governor

Theodoret, Festal Letter.

The feast of our salvation has once again dawned upon us, bringing with it the light that scatters the darkness of sin and the warmth that thaws the chill of despair. Even amid the troubles that beset us on every side, the celebration of the Lord's mighty works renews our strength and lifts our spirits.

We greet Your Piety with the joy of the festival and beg your prayers that we may pass through the remaining storms of this life and reach at last the harbor of eternal peace.
