"Let us then also learn hence to consider all things secondary to the
hearing of the word of God, and to deem no season unseasonable, and,
though a man may even have to go into another person's house, and being
a person unknown to make himself known to great men, though it be late
in the day, or at any time whatever, never to neglect this traffic. Let
food and baths and dinners and other things of this life have their
appointed time; but let the teaching of heavenly philosophy have no
separate time, let every season belong to it. For Paul saith, 'In
season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort (2 Tim. 4:2); and the
Prophet too saith, 'In His law will he meditate day and night' (Ps.
1:3)."
St. John Chrysostom.
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall
reap if we do not lose heart." Galatians 6:9
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
