Let us recall too the warning of St John Chysostom that if we adorn our liturgies with precious items and artworks, we should be all the more mindful to also<\/span> cloth the naked, feed the hungry, and extend mercy to those in need.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
