    Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796
Meditation:
    For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
    —Romans 12:3 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.
    ... St. John Chrysostom (345?-407) (see the book)
