   "And reckon ye that it is for your sakes we have been saying these things;   
   for it is in our power, when we are examined, to deny that we are   
   Christians; but we would not live by telling a lie. For, impelled by the   
   desire of the eternal and pure life, we seek the above that is with God,   
   the Father and Creator of all, and hasten to confess our faith, persuaded   
   and convinced as we are that they who have proved to God by their works   
   that they followed Him, and loved to abide with Him where there is no sin   
   to cause disturbance, can obtain these things. This, then, to speak shortly   
   is what we expect and have learned from Christ and teach."   
      
   St. Justin Martyr.   
      
   "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate   
   you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you."   
    Luke 6:27-28   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
