QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Do not think that recovery is from perishable foods, but recovery and strength is from our Lord Jesus Christ. For if the martyrs of Christ endured their limbs to be cut off and were beheaded and burned in the fire, and they endured unto death in the faith in God that is theirs, then I am worthy to be sick because of an insignificant illness."

--  Saint Anba Palamon, commemorated 25 Epip/1 August
