If someone asks you, ‘Do you worship the crucified one?’ answer with a cheerful voice and a joyful countenance, ‘Yes, I worship, and I will never cease to worship.’ And if they laugh, weep for them because they are deranged. Give thanks to the Lord because He has bestowed such benefits on us that no one can learn without divine revelation. Therefore, even if someone laughs, it’s because the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit.—St. John Chrysostom, Sermon on the Holy Cross
