   "Let us become like Christ, since Christ became like us. 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.
