Quotes

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

Great Lent - all of its services are united by the idea of preparing for Holy Pascha, to meet the Risen Christ with a clean heart.

Every man that loves God loves a quiet life.

A fish swiftly escapes a hook and a sensual soul shuns solitude.

Nothing is better for rendering the heart penitent and the soul humble than wise solitude and complete silence.

Paschal joy is a foretaste of eternal joy in the approaching kingdom of Christ.

Nothing so fills the heart with contrition and humbles the soul as solitude embraced with self-awareness, and utter silence.

The arrows of the enemy cannot touch one who loves quietness; but he who moves about in a crowd will often be wounded.

Most of us call ourselves sinners, and perhaps really think it; but it is indignity that tests the heart.

Solitude offers us an excellent opportunity for calming our passions and giving our reason time to remove them thoroughly from our soul. For just as wild animals can be soothed by being stroked, so all our anger, fear and stress, which poison and disrupt our soul, can be soothed by an atmosphere of peace where the freedom from constant disturbance ensures that our soul can be brought more easily under the power of reason.

A little fire softens a large piece of wax. So, too, a small indignity often softens, sweetens and wipes away suddenly all the fierceness, insensibility & hardness of our heart.
