"As for you, my son, shun the satisfactions of this age, so as to be happy 
in the age to come. Do not be negligent, letting the days pass by till 
unexpectedly they come looking for you and you arrive at the straits of 
your anguish and the ‘horror-faces’ surround you and drag you off violently 
to their dark place of terror and anguish. Do not be sad when you are 
cursed by men; be sad and sigh when you sin - this is the true curse - and 
when you go away bearing the sores of your sins."

St. Pachomius the Great, Pachomian Koinonia II.

"Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes."
 Psalm 119:135

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
