Things themselves do not remain, but their effects do. Therefore we should not be mean and calculating with what we have but give with a generous hand. Look at how much people give to players and dancers-why not give just as much to Christ?
Saint John ChrysostomIt is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
Saint John ChrysostomNo matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all: no matter how boldly you speak, how fairly reprove, or what not.
Saint John ChrysostomIf there were no tribulation, there would be no rest; if there were no winter, there would be no summer.
Saint John Chrysostom
