From: "Fr John W Fenton (by way of Rev. Eric J. Stefanski, )" To: Subject: HP: Good Quote Date: Thursday, November 01, 2001 1:01 PM From homily 39 of Gregory the Great: There is no doubt that those who resided in the temple to receive gifts sought to do harm to those who did not give anything. The house of prayer had become a robbers' den because it was known that those assisting in the temple were there either to do physical harm to those who did not offer gifts, or to inflict spiritual death on those who did. But our Redeemer does not take His preaching away from those who are unworthy and ungrateful. After demonstrating the power of his discipline by driving out those in error, He straightway showed the gift of His grace. [For] He was teaching daily in the temple. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rev. Fr. John W. Fenton, S.T.M. Zion Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Detroit 4305 N.
