== Etymology ==
 
'''IXTHIS''' is the Ancient Greek word for '''fish''' and was the image used to identify Christianity during the early years. If you were to use the letters of the Greek alphabet, each letter in the word 'Ixthis' represents:
 
:I - (Isous) - Jesus, X - (Christos) - Christ; TH - (Theos) - God; I - (Ios) - Son; S - (Sotir) - Saviour
 
:Jesus Christ Son of God our Saviour.

Our Lord, the most Sweet Jesus, Eternal Bridegroom of my soul

Excerpt from the Akathist Hymn to Our Sweetest Jesus Christ, Eikos 8

Wholly present with those below, yet in no way separated from those above, was the Uncircumscribed One, when of His own will He suffered for us; by His death, our death He put to death, and by His Resurrection, He granted life to us who chant to Him such words as these:




Jesus, Sweetness of my heart.
Jesus, Strength of my body.
Jesus, Light of my soul.
Jesus, Liveliness of my mind.
Jesus, Gladness of my conscience.
Jesus, Hope unexcelled.
Jesus, Remembrance everlasting.
Jesus, Praise most exalted.
Jesus, my Glory most sublime.
Jesus, my Desire, reject me not.
Jesus, my Shepherd, seek me out.
Jesus, my Saviour, save me.

Touched by a Saint

List of saints who have helped me in my life, not including my Patron Saints and guardians:

My gentle Alexios, you were torn between family and love for Christ and as you looked upon the Cross of Jesus, without a word you walked away from bride, your family and your friends to do what you had to do ...
Of thine own free will thou didst become a Fool, O Andrew, And utterly hate the lures of this world ... Thou didst choose foolishness for the sake of Christ, And didst make the crafty one foolish, Thou didst persevere with thy struggle in the midst of turmoil ...
Μυροβλήτη Demetrios, your memory is not forgotten in our home ... we love you and honour you.
Παρασκευή, you were the one who prepared the way for me. At such a young age, it was you who helped me read and melted my heart to know what my brain was only starting to understand ... Blessed Παρασκευή, interecede with your prayers that the eyes of my soul may stay unharmed from the evil one ...
Let my body be a church, my hair a forest of trees, and my blood a spring to water them
