Quotes - Archangel Michael Orthodox Church

"Prayer is the mind's dialogue with God, in which words of petition are uttered with the intellect riveted wholly on God. For when the mind unceasingly repeats the name of the Lord and the intellect gives its full attention to the invocation of the divine name, the light of the knowledge of God overshadows the entire soul like a luminous cloud."

- Theoliptos, Metropolitan of Philadelphia, On Inner Work in Christ

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

Penitence

You are, I am sure, aware that for you penitence is now no longer limited to disclosing your sins to your confessor, but that you must now bear your sins in mind always, until your heart nearly breaks with their ugly load; and would break, were it not for your firm faith in the mercy of our Lord.

St. Macarius of Optina

"Continual study in the writings of the saints fills the soul with incomprehensible wonder and divine gladness."

St. Isaac the Syrian, Ascetical Homilies
