主教的仁心

in the year 420, during the war between the eastern roman empire and persia, 7000 persians were brought prisoners to amida, where they suffered extreme want.

seeing this, acacius, bishop of amida, assembled his clergy. he observed that as god had said,"i love mercy better than sacrifice," he would be better pleased with the relief of the prisoners than with being served with gold and silver. the clergy agreed. the consecrated vessels were sold, and with the proceeds the prisoners were maintained and, at the conclusion of the war, sent home. the persian monarch was charmed with this humane action. he invited acacius to his capital, where he received him with the utmost reverence, and for his sake conferred many favours on the christians.
