"Whoever
wants to become a Christian must first become a poet. That's what it is! You
must suffer. You must love and suffer- suffer for the one you love. Love makes
effort for the loved one. She runs all through the night; she stays awake; she
stains her feet with blood in order to meet her beloved. She makes sacrifices
and disregards all impediments, threats, and difficulties for the sake of the
loved one. Love towards Christ is something even higher, infinitely
higher. “–Saint Porphyrios
