Watch yourself continually, that spiritual life and wisdom may not dry up wthin you.
Think often upon what you read or sing, or hear, in church or sometimes at home.
Live as the saints lived, by their prayers, wisdom and virtues;
in meekness, humility and gentleness,
not sparing yourself, your rest, ease and enjoyment,
for the love of God and your neighbor, in patience, courage and struggle, have their faith, hope and love.
St. John of Kronstadt
