“Be kind to Your little children, Lord; that is what we ask of You as their Tutor… May we all live in the peace that comes from You. May we journey towards Your city, sailing through the waters of sin untouched by the waves, borne tranquilly along by the Holy Spirit, Your Wisdom beyond all telling.”
—St. Clement of Alexandria (c. 150-215)
