Let everyone pay attention to the reading (cf I Tim 4:13)! The words of the saints are words of God and
not of men. Let him put them in his
heart and keep them securely, since God’s words are words of life and he who
has them within himself and keeps them has eternal life. Were you often guests at a sumptuous banquet
I doubt that any one of you would be so indifferent that he would fall asleep
and only take from it for his own need, and not be anxious before departing to
take with him something for the morrow that he would eagerly share with some of
his friends or even with the poor. But
here the words of life are offered to you, which make those who feed on them
immortal! Tell me, is it right for
anyone to be inattentive or to fall asleep and snore as if he were a living
corpse? How great the loss! How great the insensitivity and
sluggishness!
