Praise & Psalmody - Week 1: Saturday

St. Basil the Great

The work of praising attracts the service of the angels because this is a function of their existence. Thus they come closer to those who imitate in their ways.

St. Gregory the Theologian, Gregorian Liturgy

Who has established the rising of the choir of the incorporeal among men, who has given to the earthly the praising of the seraphim, receive from us also our voices together with the invisible. Count us with the heavenly hosts.

Bishop Mettaous, The Spirituality of the Praise

Praise is a means of offering a living sacrifice in the New Testament, to Him who offered Himself as an acceptable sacrifice on the Cross.
