Quotes

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

Beware of reading the doctrines of heretics for they, more than anything else, can equip the spirit of blasphemy against you.

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

Only with the greatest struggle and sacrifice is the chaff of heresy separated from the wheat of Orthodox truth.

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.

We are either fools to the world because of Christ or fools to Christ because of the world.

And so the holy apostle Paul was not angry when the world called him a ‘fool for Christ’, but, in defiance of the world, accepted the name. It is of no concern, either, to us, how the world regards and calls us. It is, though, of the greatest concern to us how the angels in heaven will regard us and call us when we meet with them after death. That is of fateful importance, and all else is meaningless.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.
