Cultivate communion with the Saints.

“Cultivate communion with the Saints. Learn who the holy people were in Christian history. Learn who they were who taught, who suffered, who died, who lived a Christian life. And emulate them. As St. John of the Ladder said: ‘Anyone who does not emulate the Saints is a fool, but also a fool would be someone who tried to imitate another person in the details of his or her life.’ You can’t do that, but we must learn from the holy people.” – Fr. Thomas Hopko
