Patristic Quote of the Day

Above, the hosts of angels sing praise; below, men form choirs in the churches and imitate them by singing the same doxology. Above, the Seraphim cry out the thrice-holy hymn; below, the human throng sends up the same cry. The inhabitants of heaven and earth are brought together in a common solemn assembly; there is one thanksgiving, one shout of delight, one joyful chorus.—St. John Chrysostom, PG LVI.97

Are you going to put anymore Psalms on like you did yesterday with Psalm 1?

The whole of the Psalter can be listened to here:

Pr. Ben Mayes did an outstanding service by providing these. And if you have Brotherhood Prayer Book, you can sing along and learn the Gregorian chant.

Thank you so much, comes in handy for our Bible class now and for me during the next Lenten season.
