Quotes

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

A little fire softens a large piece of wax. So, too, a small indignity often softens, sweetens and wipes away suddenly all the fierceness, insensibility & hardness of our heart.

Have great concern for these portals the eyes. Most robbers enter through these portals to overthrow the castle of the soul. Had the forefathers guarded their eyes, they would not have been exiled far from God and Paradise. 'The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good...' (Gn 3:6).

Most of us call ourselves sinners, and perhaps really think it; but it is indignity that tests the heart.

Just as a moth devours clothing and a worm devours wood, so dejection devours a man’s soul.

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

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

Eve is the first to teach us that sight, taste and the other senses, when used without moderation, distract the heart from its remembrance of God.

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