“One of the most important goals of our lives is to learn to be patient… If you have terrible pain that torments you and you cannot endure any more, look upon the Son of God with His head bowed wearing a crown of thorns. Think how many times they struck his head, think of the pain they caused the Savior with the thorns, and you will learn to endure your pain.”
(Saint Luke the Physician of Simferopol, collected quotes)
