   "Faith is the womb that conceives this new life, baptism the rebirth by   
   which it is brought forth into the light of day. The Church is its nurse;   
   her teachings are its milk, the bread from heaven is its food. It is   
   brought to maturity by the practice of virtue; it is wedded to wisdom; it   
   gives birth to hope. Its home is the kingdom; its rich inheritance the joys   
   of paradise; its end, not death, but the blessed and everlasting life   
   prepared for those who are worthy."   
      
   St. Gregory of Nyssa, On the Resurrection.   
      
   "Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His   
   mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can   
   declare all His praise?"  Psalm 106:1-2   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
