Sirach 31:1

Wakefulness over wealth wastes away one’s flesh, and anxiety about it drives away sleep.

Back to Chapter 31 →

A son of the Kingdom while yet on earth, thou didst ever yearn for the Son of God, crying out to Him: Be Thou my food and drink; be Thou the light of my soul; be Thou my surcease amid sorrows; be Thou life everlasting according to the resurrection, that I may supemely exalt Thee unto the ages!

— St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
