to meet our every need.

from growing cold because of injuries received,
keep the eyes of your soul always fixed
on the serene patience of our beloved Savior.

the Christian life is a time of preparation
for the ultimate meeting with the Lord.

so that we may keep watch,
each of us thinking that Christ will come
in our own day.

 
St. Ephraem, 4th century

Jesus is our strength;
he gives himself to us and we give ourselves to him.

 
John the Serene of Naples, 6th century

Jesus treated sinners with a kindness and affection
that caused some to be shocked, others scandalized,
and still others, to hope for God’s mercy.
And so, he calls us to be gentle and humble of heart.
