SO GOOD QUOTES

We are called to reflect the light of God, we are called to reflect His light—not to be preoccupied with darkness. We’re actually called to be preoccupied with light, to be so focused, so obsessed with light, that we spread that light everywhere we go. And because of this, we often think that being modest means that we should hide that light—that if there are some fruits in me, that I should hide it. I’m very careful about what I say. I’m so scared that perhaps my pride will get in the way. I’m so scared that perhaps I’ll be judged if I speak about my Christianity, if I speak about the love of God in the world, and we hide it, but this is exactly what Jesus is saying we shouldn’t do because if we never use those fruits, and we keep them hidden under our bed, those fruits begin to rot.

—Fr. Daniel Fanous
