   "If from one burning lamp someone lights another, then another from that   
   one, and so on in succession, he has light continuously. In the same way,   
   through the Apostles ordaining their successors, and these successors   
   ordaining others, and so on, the grace of the Holy Spirit is handed down   
   through all generations and enlightens all who obey their shepherds and   
   teachers."   
      
   St. Gregory Palamas, On how the Holy Spirit was manifested and shared out   
   at Pentecost.   
      
   "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus   
   came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief."  1 Timothy 1:15   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
