Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John ChrysostomIf then we have Angels, let us be sober, as though we were in the presence of tutors; for there is a demon present also.
Saint John ChrysostomThe pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell; the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
Saint John ChrysostomWhen one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also.
Saint John ChrysostomSince it is likely that, being men, they would sin every day, St. Paul consoles his hearers by saying 'renew yourselves' from day to day. This is what we do with houses: we keep constantly repairing them as they wear old. You should do the same thing to yourself. Have you sinned today? Have you made your soul old? Do not despair, do not despond, but renew your soul by repentance, and tears, and Confession, and by doing good things. And never cease doing this.
Saint John Chrysostom
