"Let yourself be persecuted, but do not persecute others. Be crucified, but do not crucify others. Se 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)

"Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches... Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervour... Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness..." (St. Padre Pio)
...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)

أحبك يا رب فى خلوتى - البابا شنودة
احبك يارب في خلوتي
تناجي فؤادي بعمق الكلم
احبك يا رب في توبتي ووقت البكاء ووقت الندم
احبك يارب وقت الرخاء احبك يا رب وقت العدم
احبك والقصر يُبني لأجلي وأيضًا إذا ما هوى وانهدم
أحبك قلبًا يُضمِّد جُرحي و أفرح بالجرحِ حين التأم
أُحبك روحًا يرفرف حولي يفيض عليَّ بأسمى النِّعَم

I know your deeds, your labour, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles. Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name... (Revelation 2:2-3)
