   "Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to paradise, our ascension   
   into the kingdom of heaven, our return to the adoption of sons, our liberty   
   to call God our Father, our being made partakers of the grace of Christ,   
   our being called children of light, our sharing in eternal glory, and, in a   
   word, our being brought into a state of all "fullness of blessing," both in   
   this world and in the world to come, of all the good gifts that are in   
   store for us, by promise hereof, through faith, beholding the reflection of   
   their grace as though they were already present, we await the full   
   enjoyment."   
      
   St. Basil the Great, On the Holy Spirit.   
      
   "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out   
   of them all."  Psalm 34:19   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
