classic Saturday

From an excerpt of "Dead to Sin" written by John Chrysostom (345-407)

"God's exceeding desire to be loved comes from loving exceedingly. This is why Jesus said, 'Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me.' He even calls us to esteem that which is most precious to us-our soul- as second to the love of God, for our Father wishes to be loved by us entirely."
