If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus... for the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib. Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit.

Saint John Chrysostom
As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.
Saint John Chrysostom
