Thought 💭 of the day 🙏 #thegoodtoknow

“If you cannot give as the rich give, then give as the poor can give. No one can say, ‘I am poor and hence I have no means of giving alms.’” ~ St. John Chrysostom x.com/RxOnlyFL/status/204561…

"Yet, Chrysostom was in no sense a sentimental optimist. His diagnosis of the human situation was stern and grim. He lived in a time when the Church was suddenly invaded by crowds of nominal converts. He had an impression that he was preaching to the dead. He watched the lack of charity, and the complacent injustice and saw them almost in an apocalyptic perspective: “We have quenched the zeal, and the body of Christ is dead.” He had an impression that he was speaking to people for whom Christianity was just a conventional fashion, an empty form, a manner and little more: “Among the thousands one can hardly find more than a hundred of them who are being saved, and even about that I am doubtful.” He was rather embarrassed by the great number of alleged Christians: “an extra food for fire.”" Fr. George Florovsky "St. John Chrysostom: The Prophet of Charity"

"It is better to err by excess of mercy than by excess of severity... Do you will to become a Saint? Be severe to yourself but kind to others." - Saint John Chrysostom

Do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven. --Mt 5:44-45.
