St Paul the Confessor of Constantinople
The calendar for this date is not available yet.
By striking our bodily structure with sickness, the Lord crushes the old, sinful, carnal man, in order to give strength to the new man, whom we have weakened by the works of the flesh: gluttony, slothfulness, amusements, and manifold sinful attachments and passions. "For when I am weak, then am I strong." Therefore, we must accept every malady with gratitude.
