“And we don’t possess God; it is He who holds us and fills us with His presence in proportion to our humility and love. Only by love can we glorify the God of love, only by giving and sharing and sacrificing oneself can one glorify the God who, to save us, sacrificed Himself and went to death, the death of the cross.”

~ Athenagoras I, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople

“Devote all your energy to preaching the word of God and the truth of Christ, especially today, when unbelief and atheism are audaciously attacking the Church of Christ. May the God of peace and love be with all of you!”

~ His Holiness St. Tikhon, Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church
