Fr. Gabriel
It is Good for Us to Be Here!

“It is indeed good for us to be here, as you have said Peter.  It is good to be with Jesus and to remain here forever.  What greater happiness or higher honor could we have, than to be with God…to be made like him and to live in His Light?” -St. Athanasius of Sinai

“We used to hate and destroy one another and refused to associate with people of another race or country.  Now, because of Christ, we live together with such people and pray for our enemies.” (St. Justin Martyr)
