From the Holy Gospel according to Mark
Mark 16:14-20
At that time: Jesus appeared unto the eleven disciples as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen. And so on.
Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.
Same as before.
“He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Perchance some man will say within himself: “I have already believed, and therefore I shall be saved.” Thou hast well said, if thou showest thy faith by thy works. He only hath a true faith whose life doth not give the lie to his confession. Hence it is that Paul saith, touching some who were falsely faithful: “They profess that they know God but in works they deny Him.” Tit. i. 16. And John likewise saith: “He that saith, I know Him and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar.” I. ii. 4.
