Quotes

A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

Prayer... by its action it is the reconciliation of man with God, the mother and daughter of tears, a bridge for crossing temptations, a wall of protection from afflictions, a crushing of conflicts, boundless activity, the spring of virtues, the source of spiritual gifts, invisible progress, food of the soul, the enlightening of the mind, an axe for despair, a demonstration of hope, the release from sorrow.

The way of humility is this: self-control, prayer, and thinking yourself inferior to all creatures.

One of the Fathers said: just as it is impossible for a man to see his face in troubled water, so too the soul, unless it be cleansed of alien thoughts, cannot pray to God in contemplation.

If, wishing to correct another, you are moved to anger, you gratify your own passion. Do not lose yourself in order to save another.

Unless a man keeps the commandments of God, he cannot progress, even in a single virtue.
