The Church is a hospital, and not a courtroom, for souls. She does not
condemn on behalf of sins, but grants remission of sins. Nothing is so joyous
in our life as the thanksgiving that we experience in the Church. In the
Church, the joyful sustain their joy. In the Church, those worried acquire
merriment, and those saddened, joy. In the Church, the troubled find relief,
and the heavy-laiden, rest.
Saint John Chrysostom
