“The Holy Spirit sent this dovelike pair (Simeon and Anna) into the Temple beforehand to meet Christ when He came, teaching us what sort of people those who receive Christ should be.” – St. Gregory Palamas
“Let no one say, dearly beloved, that the contests of the martyrs are impossible in our day, for even times of peace have their martyrs. As we have frequently mentioned, to soften one’s anger, to avoid lust, to exercise justice, to despise avarice, and to humble pride are all a large part of martyrdom…Let us continually implore God’s help that He may deign to free us ‘from the snare of the hunters,’ for we know that in the midst of these vices [of lust, anger, and avarice], Christians do not lack the opportunity for daily martyrdom. Now, if Christ is chastity, truth, and justice, just as one who plots against them is His persecutor, so one who wants to defend and observe them both in himself and others will be a martyr.” – St. Caesarius
