   "The cross is the door to mysteries. Through this door the intellect makes   
   entrance in to the knowledge of heavenly mysteries. The knowledge of the   
   cross is concealed in the sufferings of the cross. And the more our   
   participation in its sufferings, the greater the perception we gain through   
   the cross. For, as the Apostle says, `As the sufferings of Christ abound in   
   us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Chri   
      
   st." St. Isaac of Syria.   
      
   "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ   
   the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."  Galatians 2:20   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
