Quotes

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

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

Stillness mortifies the outward senses and resurrects the inward movements, whereas agitation does the opposite, that is, it resurrects the outward senses and deadens the inward movements.

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.

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

Blessed stillness gives birth to blessed children: self-control, love and pure prayer.

Love of God proceeds from conversing with him; this conversation of prayer comes about through stillness, and stillness comes with the stripping away of the self.
