Augustine of Hippo : It is this truth that we shall realize perfectly when we shall be perfectly at rest and perfectly see that it is he who is God. — City of God 22.30 John Chrysostom : For indeed the Sabbath did at the first confer many and great benefits; for instance, it made them gentle towards those of their household, and humane; it taught them God's providence and the creation, as Ezekiel saith; it trained them by degrees to abstain from wickedness, and disposed them to regard the things of the Spirit. — HOMILIES ON THE GOSPEL OF Matthew 39:3
