O Lord, grant that I may do Thy will as if it were my will, so that Thou mayest do my will as if it were Thy will.
Saint AugustineMoreover, from the time when He said, 'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven;' and again, 'He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it; ' no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ, or death for Christ.
