"If you wish to remember God unceasingly, do not reject as undeserved what happens to you, but patiently accept it as your due. For patient acceptance of whatever happens kindles the remembrance of God, whereas refusal to accept weakens the spiritual purpose of the heart and so makes it forgetful."
[Saint Mark the Ascetic, “No Righteousness by Works” # 134, The Philokalia, Vol. 1]
