   "Behold, then, how wisely and appropriately He teaches him this thing; and   
   notice that He does not consent to punish or inflict a penalty on any human   
   being. And why? In order that the disciple might learn His power to punish.   
   For, had He punished any man, He would have seemed to have acted contrary   
   to His own declaration when He said, "I came not to judge the world, but to   
   save the world." On the other hand, had He exhibited no power of   
   chastisement, the disciple would have remained in error, not learning from   
   His deeds His power of inflicting punishment. How then did it come to   
   pass?"   
      
   St. John Chrysostom, Discourse I, Chiefly on the parable of the rich man and   
   Lazarus   
      
   "Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word,   
   Heeding the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You   
   ministers of His, who do His pleasure."  Psalm 103:20-21   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
