and at all seasons
you may sing with the mind.
For whether you walk in the market place,
or begin a journey, or sit down with your friends
you may rouse up your mind or call out silently. So also
Moses called out, and God heard him. If you are an artisan,
you may sing sitting and working in your shop. If you are a soldier,
or if you sit in judgment, you may do the very same. One may
also sing without voice, the mind resounding inwardly.
For we sing, not to men, but to God, who can
hear our hearts and enter into the
silences of our minds.
- St. John Chrysostom

of man.
January 31 - Sts. Cyrus and John 576
In the churches there are vigils,
and David is first and middle and last.
In the singing of early morning hymns David
is first and middle and last. In the tents at funeral
processions David is first and middle and last. In the
houses of virgins there is weaving, and David is first and
middle and last. What a thing of wonder! Many who have not
even made their first attempt at reading know all of David by heart
and recite him in order. Yet it is not only in the cities and the churches
that he is so prominent on every occasion and with people of all ages; even
in the fields and deserts and stretching into uninhabited wasteland, he
rouses sacred choirs to God with greater zeal. In the monasteries
there is a holy chorus of angelic hosts, and David is first and
middle and last. In the convents there are bands of virgins
who imitate Mary, and David is first and middle and
last. In the deserts men crucified to this world hold
converse with God, and David is first and middle
and last. And at night all men are dominated by
physical sleep and drawn into the depths, and
David alone stands by, arousing all the
servants of God to angelic vigils,
turning earth into heaven
and making angels
of men.
