To these reasons I will add a third. I have not persuaded today

"To these reasons I will add a third. I have not persuaded today? But I 
shall persuade, perhaps, tomorrow. Or even if not tomorrow, I may after 
tomorrow, or even the day following. He who today heard and rejected the 
word, perhaps will hear and obey tomorrow; he who spurns the word today and 
tomorrow, perhaps in a few more days will attend to that which is spoken. 
For even the fisherman often casts his net the whole day in vain; and in 
the evening, when he is about to depart, captures and takes home the fish 
that had escaped him all the day long. And if, on account of frequent want 
of success, we were to live in idleness, and cease from all work, our whole 
life would be brought to nought, and not only spiritual affairs but also 
temporal would be ruined. For also the husbandman, if on account of the 
once, or twice, or oft-repeated inclemency of the season, were to abandon 
his work, we all should perish by famine. Again, it the mariner, on account 
of the once, or twice, or oft-recurring storms, were to forsake the sea, 
the ocean would become impassable, and in that way also our life would be 
quite marred. Thus, going through all employments, if men should act as you 
urge and advise us to do, all would utterly fail, and the earth would 
become uninhabitable. All men, therefore, having this in view, if once, or 
twice, or if often they fail to gain the object of the labour in which they 
spend their time, still apply themselves to the work again with 
undiminished alacrity."

St. John Chrysostom, On the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. 

"Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your 
majesty. And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, 
and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things."
 Psalm 45:3-4

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
