Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the feast of St George the Great Martyr the Triumphant.
Troparion:
As the deliverer of captives and the protector of the poor, as the physician of the feeble and combatant of kings, holy champion and great martyr George, intercede with Christ our God to save our souls.
Kontakion:
Cultivated by God, you became manifest as an honorable tiller gathering for yourself the sheaves of virtue. For you sowed with tears but reaped with gladness; in the contest you competed with your blood and came away with Christ. By your intercessions, O Holy One, all are granted forgiveness of sins.

“We must ceaselessly thank God. Our thanksgiving should never stop because we have the ability to purify ourselves as often as we wish. Whenever we realize that we have sinned, we should immediately turn our mind to God: “I have sinned, O Lord. Forgive me.” As soon as we say, “I have sinned, O Lord, forgive me,” God responds, “My child, you are forgiven by the power of the law-provided that you proceed to implement the law.” The low is implemented under the priests epitrachilion. This is where all of man’s sinfulness comes to an end. This is how easy forgiveness is! Is is a shame for man to have forgiveness so easily and readily accessible and yet, on account of our egotism alone, not want to receive it: not to want to open the gates of Paradise and to proceed toward the eternal glory of God.” - Elder Ephraim of Arizona

“Man seeks joy and happiness in heaven. He seeks what is eternal far from everyone and everything. He seeks to find joy in God. God is a mystery. He is silence. He is infinite. He is everything. Everyone possesses this inclination of the soul for heaven. All people seek something heavenly. All beings turn towards Him, albeit unconsciously.
Turn your mind towards Him continually. Learn to love prayer, familiar converse with the Lord. What counts above all is love, passionate love for the Lord, for Christ the Bridegroom. Become worthy of Christ’s love. In order not to live in darkness, turn on the switch of prayer so that divine light may flood your soul. Christ will appear in the depths of your being. There, in the deepest and most inward part, is the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).” - St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man attended to you by God with mighty works and signs and wonders which God did to Him in your midst, as you yourself know—this Jesus delivered up according to a definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. But God raised Him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.
- Acts 2:22-24

“Our Church honors saints not as gods, but as faithful servants, as holy men and friends of God. It extols the struggles they engaged in and the deeds they performed for the glory of God with the action of His grace, in such a way that all the honor that the Church gives them refers to the Supreme Being, Who has viewed their life on earth with gratification. The Church honors them by commemorating them annually through public celebrations and through the erection of Churches in honor of their name.“ - St. Nektarios of Aegina

“The person who loves God values knowledge of God more than anything created by God, and pursues such knowledge ardently and ceaselessly.“ - St. Maximus the Confessor
