Quotes

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

Dispassion is a peaceful condition of the soul in which the soul is not easily moved to evil.

Ease and idleness are the destruction of the soul and they can injure her more than the demons.

One who lives in idleness sins continually.

Those who yield themselves to idleness and apathy, even though they may be spiritual and holy, hurl themselves into unnatural subjection to passions.

Vanity is eliminated by acting secretly, and pride by ascribing to God all that is well done.

It is a sin to spend time idly.

But if you give a strong body rest and ease and idleness, all the passions dwelling in the soul are intensified. Then, even if the soul has a great desire for good, even the very thought of the good that is desired will be taken from you.
