عصاك وعكازك هما يعزيانني - مزمور ٢٣:‏٤

“When an object comes into contact with fire, it changes: it either burns or hardens. Thus, a person, touching God, either perishes or is saved. Fire is always fire. But touching it can produce either ash or steel, depending on what it touches. The same thing happens with man, and everything depends on what he brings to the Divine Fire—in what state he touches God. If he holds himself like iron, then his iron strength will become steel. If he weakens to the point of straw, he will burn. Every person, sooner or later, will inevitably come into contact with God, and woe to him if he does not prepare for that meeting!” (Saint John Maximovich)

"Let yourself be persecuted, but do not persecute others. Be crucified, but do not crucify others. Be slandered, but do not slander others. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep: such is the sign of purity. Suffer with the sick. Be afflicted with the afflicted. Exult with those who repent. Be the friend of all, but in your spirit remain alone. Be a partaker of the sufferings of all, but keep your body distant from all. Rebuke no one, revile no one, not even those who live very wickedly. Spread your cloak over those who fall and shield them. And if you cannot take the fault on yourself and accept punishment in their place, do not destroy their character..." (St. Isaac the Syrian)

...for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus... Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often... Five times I received the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. On frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers who claim to be believers; in toil and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief? If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying... (Galatians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 11:23-31)
