Quotes

"When our hearts are reluctant we often have to compel ourselves to pray for our enemies, to pour out prayer for those who are against us. Would that our hearts were filled with love! How frequently we offer a prayer for our enemies, but do it because we are commanded to, not out of love for them. We ask the gift of life for them even while we are afraid that our prayer may be heard. The Judge of our souls considers our hearts rather than our words. Those who do not pray for their enemies out of love are not asking anything for their benefit."

- St. Gregory the Great, Be Friends of God

Dogma

Flee from discussions of dogma as from an unruly lion; and never embark upon them yourself, either with those raised in the Church, or with strangers.

St. Isaac the Syrian

Health

What health and sickness are to the body, virtue and wickedness are to the soul, and knowledge and ignorance to the intellect.

St. Peter of Damascus

"Virtue does not have a bell that rings to rouse your curiosity, to make you turn and see him. It is an immaterial gift of God."

Elder Joseph the Hesychast, Monastic Wisdom
