How many there are who still say, 'I want to see His shape, His image, His clothing, His sandals.' Behold, you do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him! You want to see His clothing. He gives Himself to you, not just to be seen but to be touched, to be eaten, to be received within .... Let all of you be ardent, fervent, enthusiastic. If the Jews stood, shoes on, staff in hand, and eating in haste, how much more vigilant should you be. They were about to go to Palestine; ... you are about to go to heaven.
Saint John ChrysostomAn insult is either sustained or destroyed, not by the disposition of those who insult, but by the disposition of those who bear it.
Saint John ChrysostomWhat shepherd feeds his sheep with his own blood? But Christ feeds us with His own Blood and in all things unites us to Himself.
