Quotes - Archangel Michael Orthodox Church

"Affliction, if not accompanied by patience, produces double torment, for a man's patience casts off his distress, while faintness of heart is the mother of anguish. Patience is the mother of consolation and is a certain strength which is usually born of largeness of heart. It is hard for a man to find this strength in his tribulations without a gift from God, received through his ardent pursuit of prayer and the outpouring of his tears."

- St. Isaac the Syrian, Ascetical Homilies

Salvation

If you desire salvation, do everything that leads you to it.

Abba Isidore the Priest

Revenge

Everything you do in revenge against a brother who has harmed you will come back to your mind at the time of prayer.

Abba Nilus

Judging

Do not rail against anyone, but rather say ‘God knows each one.’ Do not agree with him who slanders, do not rejoice at his slander and do not hate him who slanders his neighbor. This is what it means not to judge.

St. Moses the Ethiopian

"The fathers say that a man who sets store by the gold and silver he can amass does not believe that there is a God who provides for him."

St. Nilus of Sora
