“We run eagerly to dances and amusements. We listen with pleasure to the foolishness of singers. We enjoy the foul words of actors for hours without getting bored. And yet when God speaks we yawn, we scratch ourselves and feel dizzy. Most people would run rabidly to the horse track, although there is no roof there to protect the audience from rain…Nothing keeps them in their homes. When they are about to go to church, however, then the soft rain becomes an obstacle to them.”
(St. John Chrysostom ‘On Church Attendance’)
