  • I have to rejoice in God and tell him, “Look Lord, I know you will save me no matter what. I am confident in this. I am confident that our Lord will work. If not now, then later.”

  • “You will always be able to tell your parents or siblings or close friends’ voices even if you can’t see them or they are really far away. If you love someone, you can easily recognize their voice. Can you say the same for Christ? Do you know His voice? You must be able to recognize God’s voice even if you can’t see Him.”

    —Fr. Bishoy El Antony

  • “We have very little faith in the Lord, very little trust. If we trusted the Lord as much as we trust a friend when we ask him to do something for us, neither we as individuals nor our whole country would suffer so much.”

    — Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

  • “For it is a sign of the truest faith if we obey our superiors without any hesitation, even when we see the opposite of what we had hoped for happening.”

    —St. John Climacus

  • “It is You who will find solution for my problem, for it is You alone who has solutions. Whenever I seek others, my problems get more complexed and increase.”

    —H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Life of Hope
