Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but Righteousness and Ascetic Practice, and Holiness; therefore rich men will never enter it, except those who place their treasures in the hands of the needy. This is what David the Prophet taught when he wrote: Righteous is the man who is Merciful day in and day out, who delights in the Lord. He walks in the Light; he will not stumble. All of which was written for our edification, so that, while Fasting, we do Acts of Kindness; and the Lord will grant us instead of earthly gifts the Things of Heaven. and ever, and to the Ages of ages.

God in His Saints; praise Him in the Firmament of His Power.
