Times of Famine and Drought

By St. Basil the Great

This Homily by St. Basil is a solemn speech delivered in a time of hardship, invoking the prophet Amos to highlight the consequences of Israel's abandonment of ancestral piety and law, resulting in divine punishment manifested as drought and famine. The people are likened to stubborn horses rejecting guidance, leading to desolation of the land and suffering of the community. The speaker urges the listeners, addressed as spiritual children, to heed the prophetic warnings, accept correction with humility, and return to God's ways. The hope is that through repentance, the land will be restored, and the community will rejoice in deliverance from their afflictions.
