Quote of the Week: St Gregory Palamas
March 31, 2009
Having put your hope in Christ who provides for all creation and nurtures it, keep away from all unjust gains, and do not be too attached even to honest income. Put it to good use and let the poor share in it as much as possible.
– St Gregory Palamas, Homily On the Precious and Life-Giving Cross, pgs. 65 – 79 in The Saving Work of Christ: Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas. Ed. Christopher Veniamin (Waymart, PA: Mount Thabor Publishing, 2008), 75-6.
