My child, with the weapon of prayer in your hands,
fight for the divine battlements. Whoever struggles is crowned, not with
olive branches, but with the unfading crown of eternal glory in the
heavenly Jerusalem!
This struggle is worth it because the glory it
brings remains unfading and eternal, whereas the glory of athletes who
struggle for transient things is ephemeral and vain! Therefore, we must
struggle by making sacrifices and bearing privations, so that the holy
name of God may be also glorified by us worthless ones.Elder Ephraim of Arizona
