Memorial of St. John Chrysostom, Bishop and Doctor of the Church 

When you see it [the Body of Christ] exposed, say to yourself: Thanks to this body, I am no longer dust and ashes, I am no more a captive but a free man. … This body he gave to us to keep and to eat, as a mark of his intense love.

— St. John Chrysostom
