(St. Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop and Doctor of the Church)
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces. “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the Law and the Prophets. “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.” Mt_7:6,12-14
How blessed are the feet of those who trod the narrow road that leads to life and enter the gate, Jesus, who leads them. Do to others what you would accept them doing to/for you. And don’t toss your pearls to the swine to be trampled underfoot, but instead, lead, encourage, entice them to ask you for them with all sincerity of heart!
