"Brethren, let us show repentance and conversion from the depths of our hearts, and let us leave off our former evil ways, and let us cleanse ourselves of every stain of the flesh and the spirit. For the day of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is near, on which we are to commune the divine and life-giving sanctification of His Mysteries. So let us keep ourselves well, brethren, and every idea that is thorny and not pure and is unworthy of a devoted activity let us weed out, and in every way let us cleanse ourselves." St. John Chrysostom :: Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew
