St. Romanos the Melodist Society

When, indeed, the Holy Spirit saw that the human race was guided only with difficulty toward virtue, what did He do? The delight of melody He mingled with the doctrines so that by the pleasantness and softness of the sound heard we might receive without perceiving it the benefit of the words."
- St. Basil the Great, Exegetic Homilies, Homily 10
