Thou then, brother, though thou shouldest remain without food

"And thou then, brother, though thou shouldest remain without food,
though thou shouldest sleep upon the ground, though thou shouldest eat
ashes and be ever wailing, and do good to no other; thou wilt do no
great work. For so also those great and noble persons who were in the
beginning made this their chiefest ca examine accurately their life, and
thou wilt see clearly that none of them ever looked to his own things,
but each one to the things of his neighbor, whence also they shone the
brighter. For so Moses (to mention him first) wrought many and great
wonders and signs; but nothing made him so great as that blessed voice
which he uttered unto God, saying, 'If Thou wilt forgive their sin,'
forgive'but if not, blot me also out' (Ex. 32:32)."
St. John Chrysostom.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth." John 1:14
