Quotes

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

Grace always precedes temptation, as if to notify you saying, 'Prepare yourself and lock your doors.'

Christ allows temptations so that we may be purified of our predispositions.

The temptation comes in accordance with one’s stature. And you must endure in order to emerge victorious. Christ, Who sets the contest, allows temptations for this reason: so that we may gain victories against the enemy, be purged from passions, and be perfected.

Without temptations, pure souls are not known, virtue does not show, patience is not discernible. Without temptations, it is impossible for the soul to become healthy. They are the cleansing fire which makes the soul pure and bright.
