St Gregory of Nyssa

"Ideas create idols; only wonder leads to knowing."

St Gregory, pray for us.

The Early Fathers on Almsgiving

"The bread you do not use is the bread of the hungry. The garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of the person who is naked. The shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot. The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are the injustices you commit."
- St. Basil the Great

"There is your brother, naked and crying! And you stand confused over choice of floor covering."
- St. Gregory of Nyssa
