Quote of the Day
A brother said to Abba Poemen, "My heart becomes lukewarm when a little
suffering comes my way." The old man said to him, "Do we not admire
Joseph, a young man of seventeen, for enduring his temptations to the
end? And God glorified him. Do we not also see Job, how he suffered to
the end, and lived in endurance? Temptations cannot destroy hope in God."
