gift given to men through His own Blood, the Lord said, ‘When you have done all that
is commanded you, say: "We are useless servants: we have only done what was our
duty" ‘ (Luke 17:10). Thus the kingdom of heaven is not a reward for works, but
a gift of grace prepared by the Master for his faithful servants." St. Hesychios the

will send you to the fire." St. Symeon the New Theologian

partaking of His Spirit, might be deified." Saint Athanasius the Apostolic. 298-373
