St. Theodore the Studite: He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love...

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love. 

Do we not communicate each day of his immaculate body and blood? What could be sweeter and more filled with enjoyment than this, since those who partake with a pure conscience will obtain eternal life? Do we not converse each day with the godly David and the other holy fathers through taking in the readings? What could bring greater consolation to the soul? Have we not broken off contact with the world and with our relatives according to the flesh? Again is anything more blessed or higher than this? 

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.'


St. Theodore the Studite
