By H.H. Pope Shenouda III 
Whoever loves God will be led by this love in all his spiritual practices. 
He reads for God's sake to enjoy Him, prays or  ministers for His sake to meet with Him and to enjoy His  Life-Giving-Sacraments, goes to church, attends spiritual meetings,  speaks with people for His sake to speak to them about Him. For God's  sake he keeps silent to meditate on His beautiful attributes. For His  sake he lives to minister to Him and to spread His name. For His sake he  dies to meet with Him in Paradise then in the kingdom, as St. Paul  says, "If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the  Lord … whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." (Rom 14: 8)
