Patristic Quote of the Day

“And whatsoever you do,” he says, “in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” For if we thus do, there will be nothing polluted, nothing unclean, wherever Christ is called on. If thou eat, if thou drink, if thou marry, if thou travel, do all in the Name of God, that is, calling Him to aid you: in everything first praying to Him, so take hold of your business. -- St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Colossians 3
