Feb 12th - Meletius of Antioch

It is not everyday that your eulogy is delivered by a saint and doctor of the Church. An ardent opponent of Arianism he was thrice exile for his opposition but lived in great company. He baptized and ordained John Chrysostom, consecrated Gregory of Nazianus as bishop of Constantinople, and Gregory of Nyssa delivered his eulogy.

Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it. But he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways.

-- James 1:2-8
