Letter 1,60 - to Januarius, archbishop from Cagliari in Sardinia. July 591.
"If our Lord himself, by witness of Holy Scripture, declares he is the husband of widows and father of orphans, then we also, as members of his body, ought to strive to imitate his head, with the greatest effort of our will, and preserving justice, we must defend orphans and widows."
