"It is so important, so crucial, a matter of life and death, that we follow Jesus’ example. In our loud, confused, topsy-turvy world, where each of us is on the go from morning until night, hurrying and scurrying from one thing to another, it is very important that we stop at appointed intervals and wait upon the Lord, sitting at His feet, in prayer and liturgy. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)" - Fr. Richard Demetrius Andrews

"A minister may be very faithful in his orthodoxy, most zealous in his service, and yet be so, chiefly, in the power of human wisdom and zeal. One of the sings of this is that there is little pleasure and perseverance in fellowship with Christ. Love of prayer is one of the marks of the Spirit." - Andrew Murray

"The indwelling presence is the focal point of prayer. We need no wings, only a place of silence where we can centre our gaze (upon Him)." - St. Teresa of Avila

“Do not wander from the Church. She is your hope and your salvation. She is higher than the heavens, firmer than rock, wider than the world; she never grows old, but is forever renewing her youth.” - St. John Chrysostom

The crowns of the saints are cast in crucibles; scars are the price of their scepters. That they might occupy exalted places in the Kingdom age, the Lord takes His chosen ones deep into the valley of humiliation. Let us then take courage as we enter our baptism of suffering. 'Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.' - Maynard James

"Keep a clear eye toward life's end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's creature. What you are in His sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing that you have received.. but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage." - St. Francis of Assisi

"Slander is abuse, plain and simple. In fact, it’s so heinous that Paul says it’s a sin worthy of excommunication (1 Corinthians 5:11). So I have no tolerance for it, and neither should you." - Frank Viola
