No!  No!  No!  No!  No!  No!  No!  No to falsehood!  No to dishonesty!  No to complacency!  No to self-indulgence!  No to fear!  No to cowardice!  No to hatred!  No to lukewarmness!  No to intimidation!  No to deception!  No to lust!  No to arrogance!  No to greed!  No to the voice that says “You can’t do it.”  No to “You’re not good enough.”  No to invasive ideas that plague our minds.  No to the temptation to run from our pain.  No to addiction.  No to ignorance.  No to shame.  May the grace of this glorious no touch our hearts and take root in our souls.  May this no serve as a starting point for a future filled with possibilities. May this habit of no be a ministry to ourselves, and may we be born anew. Ave Crux, Spes Unica.
