St. Dionysius of Alexandria Letters and Treatises Quotes

“He that procrastinates hath ever to struggle against disasters,”
― Saint Dionysius, St. Dionysius of Alexandria Letters and Treatises

“(To Novatian) (Eus., H. E. vi. 45) If it was against thy will, as thou sayest, that thou wast promoted, [62] thou wilt prove this by retiring of thine own accord. It were good to suffer anything and everything so to escape dividing the Church of God. And martyrdom [63] to avoid schism is no less glorious than martyrdom to avoid idolatry. Nay, it is to my mind greater. In one case a man is a martyr for his own single soul’s sake. But this is for the whole Church.”
