"Christ conquered the devil with the same weapons the devil used against us: a virgin, a tree, and death. These tokens of our demise have now become the tokens of our victory. Instead of Eve, there is Mary; instead of the tree of knowledge, there is the Cross; and instead of Adam’s death, there is the death of Christ." St. John Chrysostom, On the Theotokos. "For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’" Isaiah 41:13 Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
