Quotes of the Day:

One of the best known of the Desert Fathers of fourth-century Egypt, Saint Sarapion the Sindonite, travelled once on pilgrimage to Rome.  Here he was told of a celebrated recluse, a woman who lived always in one small room, never going out.  Skeptical about her way of life -- for he was himself a great wanderer --Sarapion called on her and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"  To this she replied, "I am not sitting, I am on a journey."

"Where can I go from Thy Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Thy presence?  If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Hell, behold, Thou art there."     -- Psalm 139:7-8.

"I believe in One God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible."     -- the Nicene Creed.
