“…for God lets the sun shine on both good and bad people. If you love only people who love you, why should you be rewarded? Even sinners do that!”

who walk in the law of the LORD.

"Beatitude is a possession of all things held to be good,
from which nothing is absent that a good desire may want.

Misery means being afflicted unwillingly with painful sufferings."
St. Gregory of Nyssa
