Quotes - Archangel Michael Orthodox Church

"Favors are given in exchange of faith. Grace is poured out, which faith receives. And as from a fountain some draw a little water in little vessels, and others draw more in bigger vessels, the fountain not distinguishing between the one vessel and the other, since it is the vessels, not the fountain, that measures the water, and each draws according to his measure; and as the splendor of light enters to a greater or less degree according to the dimensions of the window, so is grace received according to the measure of our desire. "

- St. John Chrysostom

Envy

The saints’ freedom from envy is a wonderful phenomenon. The saints not only did not allow envy to conquer their hearts, but exerted themselves greatly to ensure that their friends be exalted and they themselves debased.

St. Nikolai Velimirovic

Nearness of God

Near as the body is to the soul, the Lord is nearer, to come and open the locked doors of the heart, and to bestow on us the riches of heaven.

St. Macarius the Great

Nearness of God

Nothing is nearer to us than God.

St. John of Kronstadt

Envy

Beware of envy. Wherever there is envy, God's spirit does not exist.

St. Paisius Velichkovsky

"Fasting is beneficial when it is undertaken for quelling desire, humbling the soul, transforming hatred, extinguishing anger, erasing remembrance of wrongs, and for the purity of the understanding and the practice of prayer."

St. Gregory Palamas
