Quotes

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

As work according to God is called virtue, so unexpected affliction is called a test.

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

Knowing the exact nature of everything, God permits each person to be tested according to his strength. As St. Paul puts it: 'God is to be trusted not to let you be tried beyond your strength, but with the trial He will provide a way out, so that you are able to bear it' (1 Cor. 10:13).

Grace always precedes temptation, as if to notify you saying, 'Prepare yourself and lock your doors.'

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

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.

When tested by some trial you should try to find out not why or through whom it came, but only how to endure it gratefully, without distress or rancor.

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

The more wood you pile on a fire the more heat you get, and thus it is with God - the more you think on Him the more you are fired with love and fervor towards Him. He who loves the Lord is always mindful of Him, and remembrance of God begets prayer.

Strive to walk worthily of the vocation to which you were called.
