In the course of his teaching,
he said:’
Watch out the scholars, who take pleasure in:
walking about in long robes,
greetings in the market places, 
having the best seats in the synagogues
and having the best places at feasts – 
those who cheat widows out of their property
and as  a pretext pray for a long time. 

These will receive more severe judgement.‘

Eternal Light, shine into our hearts;
Eternal Goodness, deliver us from evil;
Eternal Power, be our support;
Eternal Wisdom, scatter the darkness of our ignorance:
That we may seek your face
with all our heart and mind and soul and strength. Amen.
Alcuin
