"The Lord chose the apostles, that they should be with Him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. Every Christian is chosen???chosen for similar deeds, namely: to be with the Lord, through unceasing remembrance of Him and awareness of His omnipresence, through the preaching and fulfillment of His commandments, and through a readiness to confess one???s faith in Him. In those circles where such a confession is made, it is a loud sermon for all to hear." St. Theophan the Recluse. "The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:" Psalm 68:11 Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
