The Church Fathers, in their wisdom, contemplated on the Gospels and ultimately the work of the Lord which led to Holy Week. The Lord’s miracles and interactions with all people are a testament to the Truth that He is the Messiah who came to save the world. These patristic meditations give us insight to not only how they thought but how we can come to understand the amazing work of our Lord and His love for us.
