Letting Go:

I cling to so much, Lord—to people and things, attitudes and ideas,habits and desires. Some are good, some not so good. I cling because they seem part of me— guideposts of myself. When I look upon your cross and see your outstretched arms, I realize you did not cling to anything except to God. I want to be like you, Lord, clinging to nothing but God.

A living faith consists of thinking little of self and showing consideration for others.

- Saint Poemen (d. 450)
