about

"Amma Theodora said, 'Let us strive to enter by the narrow gate. Just as the trees, if they have not stood before the winter's storms cannot bear fruit, so it is with us; this present age is a storm and it is only through many trials and temptations that we can obtain an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven.'"

Theodora 8, The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. The Alphabetical Collection. Trans. Benedicta Ward. Cistercian Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1975.

lyrics

Let us strive to enter
by the narrow gate into the kingdom
through trials and troubles
we go by the gate into the kingdom

We are like the trees of winter
Without rain we can´t bear fruit
We are like the trees of winter
This present age is like a storm

Written by Lasse Lindgren, based on the teaching of Amma Theodora
