He was the only support of those persecuted women and children, their only helper and consoler. The difficulties of his ministry were greatly increased because for a long time he had to travel and to work at night in order to
avoid the ill feelings of the pagans. These events, instead of having the effect of deterring people from going to him, attracted them still more.
