“With all joy, I desire to offer my eyes ten thousand times or even more for the sake of your souls’ repentance. Your salvation is very precious to me; more that light itself. For what will I benefit from the sun’s rays, if my eyes are darkened by sorrow over you? What hope will I have if you do not make progress? And the opposite is true! What despair can affect me if you are growing? When I hear good news about you, I become like one who has gained wings” (Saint John Chrysostom)
