"The Will of God is what Christ has done and taught.
It is humility in conduct,
steadfastness in faith,
scrupulousness in our words,
rectitude in our deeds,
mercy in our works,
governance in our habits;
it is innocence of injuriousness, and patience under it,
preserving peace with the brethren,
loving God will all our heart,
loving Him as our Father, and fearing Him as our God;
accounting Christ before all things, because He accounted nothing before us,
clinging inseparably to His love,
being stationed with fortitude and faith at His Cross,
and when the battle comes for His Name and honour, maintaining in words that constancy which makes confession, in torture that confidence which joins battle, and in death that patience which receives the crown.
This is to endeavour to be co-heir with Christ; this is to perform the commandment of God, and fulfill the will of the Father."
(St. Cyprian)
