One priest told the following story to those who did not go to church on Sundays.
— A rich man met a beggar on his way. The poor man told him about his misfortunes. He took pity on him and gave him two from the seven coins he had. After the beggar told about his other troubles, he received two more coins. Approaching the source, they decided to refresh themselves. The rich man shared his food with his companion and, having heard the following story from his life, gave away two more coins. He was so merciful! The one who received six coins instead of gratitude, suddenly snatched a knife from under his clothes and demanded the seventh coin. Black ingratitude! What is he worthy of? — the priest finished his story.
— Death! — his listeners shouted.
“And you deserve such a severe punishment,” he told them. “You are that same ungrateful beggar.”
God gave you six days and set aside only one for Himself. And you stole this day from Him.
