"...Let us visit Christ whenever we may; let us care for him, feed him,
clothe him, welcome him, honor him, not only at a meal, as some have done,
or by anointing him, as Mary did, or only ye lending him a tomb, like
Joseph of Arimathaea, or by arranging for his burial, like Nicodemus, who
loved Christ half-heartedly, or by giving him gold, frankincense and myrrh,
like the Magi before all these others. The Lord of all asks for mercy, not
sacrifice, and mercy is greater than myriads of fattened lambs. Let us then
show him mercy in the persons of the poor and those who today are lying on
the ground, so that when we come to leave this world they may receive us
into everlasting dwelling places, in Christ our Lord himself, to whom be
glory for ever and ever. Amen."
St. Gregory of Nazianzen.
"He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips
shall have destruction." Proverbs 13:3
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
