...We ought to learn to distinguish truth from untruth by meditation and thus to eliminate untruth.  As we progress in self-awareness, we discover more and more traces of untruth in us, which we should continue to eliminate by self-discipline.

...We have to learn from the mistakes of the disciples who failed to understand Jesus' suffering.

...When we have to face things against our nature, we must pray for God's grace to overcome our nature.

...When we accept our shortcomings, we enjoy a special kind of peace.

...We are icons fixed to a piece of wood, which is God, by the gum which is God's law.  This bond is a mystery.

...To enter 'God's rest' * describes the state of a life in God.  This state is 'restful' because, when we are in God, there is no struggle with our broken selves.                                                                 (* St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 4:10)
