yesterday I died with Him; today I am quickened 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. 

"Arise, O Lord, in Your anger. Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my 
enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded! So the 
congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, 
return on high. The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, 
according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me."
 Psalm 7:6-8

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