"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 Christ." 

St. Isaac of Syria. 

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ 
lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in 
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.
