βAnd so, look to your salvation, while you still have an acceptable time; work and labour for your salvation while it is yet day, for the night will come, and then no one can work. Do not put it off from day to day, but hasten to the heavenly Kingdom while it is still possible; for death will come, and then it will be too late. Get going somehow or other to the Kingdom of Heaven, and then you will gradually be getting nearer to it, even though it is slow work β just as when a person who is going somewhere takes a step forward, he gets nearer his destination.β β Saint Innocent of Alaska.
