Chrysostom (Tom. II.
p. 793): “We usually take the reckoning of our money early
in the morning, but of our actions, of all that we have said and done
by day, let us demand of ourselves the account after supper, and even
after nightfall, as we lie upon our bed, with none to trouble, none to
disturb us. And if we see anything done amiss, let us chastise
our conscience, let us rebuke our mind, let us so vehemently impugn our
account, that we may no more dare to rise up and bring ourselves to the
same pit of sin, being mindful of the scourging at night.”
