Chew on texts…
Mine is to chew on the appropriate texts and make them delectable.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
Christ is bathed…
Christ is bathed in light; let us also be bathed in light.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
If only we could…
If only we could be what we hope to be.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
Our hope is…
Our hope is greater than our desert.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
To all creatures…
To all earth’s creatures God has given the broad earth, the springs, the rivers and the forests, giving the air to the birds, and the waters to those who live in water, giving abundantly to all the basic needs of life, not as a private possession, not restricted by law, not divided by boundaries, but as common to all, amply and in rich measure.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
Share our earthly blessings…
Not one of this world’s blessings belongs to its owner securely enough to prevent time destroying it, or envy transferring it elsewhere…Let us profit by them in the only good way we can, that is, let us gain possession of our souls by giving alms, and share our earthly goods with the poor so as to enrich ourselves with the wealth of heaven.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
