   "It is a fact, brothers and sisters, that the path of the saints in this   
   life is one full of troubles. They either endure the pain of longing for   
   that which is to come, like the one who said, ‘Woe is me that I have such a   
   long pilgrimage’ (Ps. 120:5) or they are distressed by their longing for   
   the salvation of others, as Paul wrote to the Corinthians, ‘I am afraid   
   that when I come to you, God may humble me and cause me to weep and mourn   
   over many who have sinned and not repented of impurity, fornication and   
   licentiousness which they have practiced.'"   
      
   St. Athanasius the Great   
      
   "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in   
   Him!"  Psalm 34:8   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
