Saturday after Ash Wednesday

"Gratefulness on the part of the recipient spurs on the giver to bestow gifts larger than before... There is no sin which cannot be pardoned except that one which lacks repentance, and there is no gift which is not augmented save that which remains without acknowledgement. For the portion of the fool is small in his eyes" (from The Mystical Treatises of St. Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 2, 11).
