• " The sign Jesus promised to the generation that did not
  understand Him was the "sign of Jonas the prophet - that is
  of His resurrection.The life of every monk, of every priest,
  of every Christian is signed with the sign of Jonas, because
  we all live by the power of Christ's resurrection. But I fear
  that my own life is especially sealed with this great sign,
  which baptism and monastic profession and priestly ordination
  have burned into the roots of my being, becuase like Jonas himself
  I find myself traveling toward my destiny in the belly of a paradox. "
