at him, and any danger he was exposed to. Even those
who accused him of high-handedness, acknowledged his
sagacity and his integrity. These very traits, so
incomprehensible to many, have earned for him the
gratitude of the Church Universal, and the titles cited at
the beginning of the chapter. Wherever the believers in
Orthodoxy and in the Incarnate Word are, they allot first
place to Athanasius and second to Kyrillos among the
defenders of Divine Truth.
His ceaseless activity took heavy toll of his health.
Worn out by labours rather than by years, he entered into
the joy of his Lord after steering the Church through
storm and calm during thirty-one years and eight months.
