“For those who cling to Him, Jesus Christ is enlightenment of the mind, beauty of the soul, health of the body, happiness in the heart, joy in sorrows, and hope for salvation. Speak and write about Christ as often as possible; gaze upon His holy icon as often as possible; pray that you might be able to pray to Him unceasingly in spirit and praise Him with your lips without ceasing. All our blessedness is found in the glorification of Jesus Christ!”
~St. John of the Ladder
