Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John ChrysostomIt is a shame for a man to desire honor because of his noble progenitors, and not to deserve it by his own virtue.
Saint John ChrysostomIt is not the man who is responsible for the offerings as they become Christ's Body and Blood; it is Christ Himself who was crucified for us. The standing figure belongs to the priest who speaks these words. The power and the grace belong to God. 'This is My Body,' he says. And these words transform the offerings.
Saint John Chrysostom
