   "Sin is a great shame. If we commit it not only should we feel ashamed but   
   we should cover ourselves exactly the same way those who are wounded do.   
   Even then we should not forsake ourselves but rush to confession and   
   thanksgiving. We have such a Lord who asks nothing of us but to confess our   
   sins, after the commitment of a sin which was due to our indifference, and   
   to stop at that point and not to fall into the same one again. If we eat   
   with moderation we should never be ashamed, because the Creator gave us   
   such a body which cannot be supported in any other way except by receiving   
   food. Let us only stop excessive food because that attributes a great deal   
   to the health and well-being of the body."   
      
   St. John Chrysostom, On Fasting.   
      
   "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and   
   repent."  Revelation 3:19   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
