Quotes

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

Consider, Christian, what vows you made and to Whom. It is a grievous thing to lie to a man; how incomparably more grievous it is to lie to God.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

The Resurrection of the Lord is the renewal of human nature, and the renewal, re-creation and return to immortality of the first Adam who was swallowed up by death because of sin, and through death went back to the earth from which he was formed.

Only with the greatest struggle and sacrifice is the chaff of heresy separated from the wheat of Orthodox truth.

Compunction comes when you consider how much you have grieved God Who is so good, so sweet, so merciful, so kind, and entirely full of love; Who was crucified and suffered everything for us. When you meditate on these things and other things the Lord has suffered, they bring compunction.

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.

The way to attain compunction is an attentive life. ‘The beginning of repentance comes from the fear of God and attention,’ as the holy martyr Boniface says.

Everything has already begun, and everything always begins anew for the Church, with the Resurrection of our Lord.

Beware of reading the doctrines of heretics for they, more than anything else, can equip the spirit of blasphemy against you.
