Quotes

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

Everything has already begun, and everything always begins anew for the Church, with the Resurrection of our Lord.

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

It is a sin to spend time idly.

The Resurrection of the Lord is the renewal of human nature, and the renewal, re-creation and return to immortality of the first Adam who was swallowed up by death because of sin, and through death went back to the earth from which he was formed.

But if you give a strong body rest and ease and idleness, all the passions dwelling in the soul are intensified. Then, even if the soul has a great desire for good, even the very thought of the good that is desired will be taken from you.

One who lives in idleness sins continually.

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

Ease and idleness are the destruction of the soul and they can injure her more than the demons.

Those who yield themselves to idleness and apathy, even though they may be spiritual and holy, hurl themselves into unnatural subjection to passions.

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