Before they committed the crime of crimes, before they killed their Master, before the cross, before the slaying of Christ, [Jewish sacrifices were] an abomination.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
We ought not, as soon as we leave church, to plunge into business unsuited to church, but as soon as we get home, we should take the Scriptures into our hands, and call our wife and children to join us in putting together what we have heard in church.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John Chrysostom

What the soul is in the body, let Christians be in the world.
