Background on Cassiodorus

In his own words on 1 Thessalonians

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

    "Sing with jubilation to God, all the earth." The prophet was troubled for the faithful people in case they believe they are to serve the Lord with gloomy anxiety, so he began at once with jubilation, for ministering to the Lord with happiness of mind constitutes the perfect devotion of the just man. As Paul warns us, "Always rejoice: pray without ceasing: in all things give thanks."
