Enjoying the Blessing

"In our human life bodily health is a good thing, but this blessing consists not merely in knowing the causes of good health but in actually enjoying it. If a man eulogizes good health and then eats food that has unhealthy effects, what good is his praise of health when he finds himself on a sickbed?"

~St. Gregory of Nyssa in the Office of Readings for Saturday of the 12th week in Ordinary Time
