Quotes

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

Understand me. It is so simple. People who do not know God, or who go against Him, are to be pitied; the heart sorrows for them and the eye weeps. Both paradise and torment are clearly visible to us: We know this through the Holy Spirit. And did not the Lord Himself say, 'The kingdom of God is within you?' Thus eternal life has its beginning here in this life; and it is here that we sow the seeds of eternal torment.

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

One who is capable of seeing himself is better than one who has been made worthy to see angels.

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

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

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.

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

Nothing is better than to realize one's weakness and ignorance, and nothing is worse than not to be aware of them.
