Lighter than a feather

Words of Life - 23 February 2017
 Saint John Chrysostom

The prayer of the Church has such great power that, even if we speak less than stones, it could make our tongue lighter than a feather. Just as, when a breeze fills the sails of a ship and makes it go faster than an arrow, so the prayer of the Church, when it falls onto the tongue of those saying it, makes our words stronger than the breeze.
