but He, since He loves us exceedingly, even if we keep silent, then proclaims aloud what was done with many praises, and is not ashamed to say that we clothed Him when He was naked, and fed Him when He was hungry.
For what profit is there in these applauses and tumults? One thing only I seek from you: the demonstration that comes through deeds, the obedience that comes through actions;
This crown, then, having departed, do you prepare both for yourselves and for me through the hand of the poor, that both in the present life we may be nourished with a good hope, and having departed to the life to come, we may attain to the countless good things;
which may it be granted us all to attain, by the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with whom to the Father together with the Holy Spirit be glory, might, honor, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
