"Yesterday I was crucified with Him; today I am glorified with Him; 
yesterday I died with Him; today I am quickened with Him; yesterday I was 
buried with Him; today I rise with Him. But let us offer to Him Who 
suffered and rose again for us- you will think perhaps that I am going to 
say gold, or silver, or woven work or transparent and costly stones, the 
mere passing material of earth, that remains here below, and is for the 
most part always possessed by bad men, slaves of the world and of the 
Prince of the world. Let us offer ourselves, the possession most precious 
to God, and most fitting; let us give back to the Image what is made after 
the Image. Let us recognize our Dignity; let us honour our Archetype; let 
us know the power of the Mystery, and for what Christ died." 

St. Gregory of Nyssa, On the Resurrection.

"But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my
deliverer; O Lord, do not delay."  Psalm 70:5
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
