SO GOOD QUOTES

The strong heart finds a hundred ways for the thing it wishes to do. The fathers said, “Virtue asks you to desire only it, and nothing else.” It is enough for you to desire. You will find that grace will open every door which closes before you. The Holy Spirit of God will strengthen you, and the spirits of the angels and the saints will surround you. Therefore do not let obstacles be an excuse, but think correctly about how to overcome them.

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, The Life of Repentance and Purity
