Let us become       God's for His sake, since He for ours became Man. He assumed the worse that       He might give us the better; He became poor that we through His poverty       might be rich; 2 Corinthians 8:9 He took upon Him the form of a servant       that we might receive back our liberty; He came down that we might be       exalted; He was tempted that we might conquer; He was dishonoured that He       might glorify us; He died that He might save us; He ascended that He might       draw to Himself us, who were lying low in the Fall of sin. Let us give all,       offer all, to Him Who gave Himself a Ransom and a Reconciliation for us.       But one can give nothing like oneself, understanding the Mystery, and       becoming for His sake all that He became for ours."              St. Gregory the Theologian, On the Resurrection.              "I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your       marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to       Your name, O Most High." Psalm 9:1-2              Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
