Quotes

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

The passion of self-esteem is a three-pronged barb heated and forged by the demons out of vanity, presumption and arrogance. Yet those who dwell under the protection of the God of heaven (cf. Ps. 91.1) detect it easily and shatter its prongs, for through their humility they rise above such vices and find repose in the tree of life.

Our own will is like a wall of brass between us and God, preventing us from coming near to Him or contemplating His mercy.
