"Whenever physical hunger turned cruel against me, I found my gratification in prayer. Whenever the biting cold of winter was unkind to me, I found my warmth in prayer. Whenever people were harsh to me (and their harshness was severe indeed) I found my comfort in prayer. In short, prayer became my food and my drink, my outfit and my armor, whether by night or by day." Fr. Matta El Meskeen (Matthew the Poor)

Background Picture
The background picture is of Patriarch Pavle of Serbia, his memory be eternal. I choose this picture because the story behind it really stuck to me when I heard it. So he used to take the bus everyday to pretty much anywhere he went. Why? Because he said it would not be fair for him to have a car and drive around if everyone in his flock did not own a car themselves. So he took the bus instead, like any other lay person. A very powerful individual and his memory be eternal.
