Quotes

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

No one can say, 'I am poor and hence I have no means of giving alms.' For even if you cannot give as the rich gave their gifts into the temple treasury, give two farthings as the poor widow did, and from you God will consider it greater gift than the gifts of the rich. And if you do not have as much as two farthings? You can take pity on the sick and give alms by ministering to them. And if you cannot do even this? You can comfort your brother by your words. 'A good word is better than the best of gifts.'

One who is capable of seeing himself is better than one who has been made worthy to see angels.

According to the degree to which the intellect is stripped of the passions, the Holy Spirit initiates the intellect into the mysteries of the age to be.

Self-knowledge is a true idea of one's spiritual growth, and an unbroken remembrance of one's slightest sins.

Fear God and keep His commandments both in your feelings and in your intellect. If you force yourself to keep them in your intellect, bit by bit you will attain to fulfilling them in your feelings.

Let us through almsgiving become owners of our own souls.

Through the cheap price of doing good to men, we can acquire the priceless Kingdom of God.

The intellect becomes a stranger to the things of this world when its attachment to the senses has been completely sundered.

Nothing is better than to realize one's weakness and ignorance, and nothing is worse than not to be aware of them.
