2 Be diligent and wide awake in serving God, and keep in mind why you left the world and entered the monastery. Did you not come here to live for God and to become holy and prayerful man? Therefore, seek perfection with a steady eagerness, for you will recieve the reward of your labors and then both fear and sorrow will be foreign to you. Your labor is rather slight and yet great and everlasting joy! ~ Thomas Kempis
