“With every trial which cometh upon a man he should say, ‘It hath come to me because of my sins’; but if something good happeneth to him, let him say, ‘It is of the Providence of God.’”

— St. Sisoës the Great

Let us stay hidden in Christ. Do not come out from His protective wing. Make no provision for the flesh: whether in blaming others for our suffering or inflating our egos with our pride.

Christ is the Light tyat reveals us to ourselves. It is inky hidden in Him that we see all as it really is. That we see Him as He really is.
