Psalms 38:17-19
For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 19. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

"The love of God is not taught by anyone, but is planted by God in the heart of man."

+ St John Chrysostom

Psalms 38:20-22
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. 21. Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. 22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Psalms 39:1-2
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 2. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

"The Lord’s Pascha is not merely a day, but the dawn of a new creation, where death is vanquished and life reigns forever."

+ St Cyril of Jerusalem

"A true friend prays to God for his friend. A true friend cares about the salvation of a friend’s soul. To draw a friend back from false ways and set him on the true path – that is precious friendship. The Saints of God are man’s greatest friends.”

+ St Nikolai Velimirovic
