“Let us therefore contribute whatever we have— wealth, diligence, or care giving—for our neighbor‘s advantage. For the talents here are each person‘s ability, whether in the way of protection, or in money, or in teaching or in whatever thing one has been given.

“Blessed is God! In our time as well martyrs have come forth, and we have been made worthy to see people sacrificed for the Lord Christ, people who shed their holy blood to irrigate the entire Church. We have been made worthy to see people, advocates of piety, who are victorious, who are crowned……and we now have these crowned ones among us.” St John Chrysostom . “The more you cut us down, the more in number we grow. The blood of Christians is seed…. For after thinking about it, who among you is not eager to find out what is…

It was then that he sat upon a colt of a donkey, while vast multitudes and young children, holding up branches of palm trees, went before him, praising…
