“Though the waves and the sea and the anger of princes are roused against me, they are less to me than a spider’s web … not what this fellow to that would have me do, but what [God] wants me to do. If God wants something, let it be done!”

                                                                      – St. John Chrysostom 

For Reflection: 

To what extent am I more influenced by the desires of others than God’s desires? I will examine my decisions based on this for the next week.
