Prayer takes away the sorrow and bad humour

Prayer takes away the sorrow and bad humour

The time for harvest is now. Do not consume what you have in pleasures and vanities. Because you will need more than you can harvest there.

Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos

Do you want to make your brother a better person? You must cry for him, you must teach him, you must beg him.

Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos

It is impossible to cherish God when the soul is divided into two, that is when the soul asks for God, while loving the secular things.

Saint Isaiah the Solitary

God and His angels rejoice to help those in need, whereas the devil and his servants rejoice being in comfort.

Saint Isaac of Syria

Being attached to secular life is an obstacle to the effort to raise your cross and to follow Christ and His will.

Saint Basil the Great

The life of the pious one is more bright than the stars in the sky.

St. Gregory the Theologian

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Matt. 5:3

Prayer is a bloom of meekness and serenity. Prayer takes away the sorrow and bad humour.

Saint Nile the Ascetic

The one who sins for the second time in the hope of repenting later, that one is devious before God.

Saint Isaac of Syria

Discreetness is unspoiled consciousness and clear perception.

Agios Ioannis Sinaitis

Turn my heart to the love of your commandments and not to the greed.

Psalms

The rule of the righteous is better than the price of the evil.

Agios Ioannis Damaskinos

If we live together with virtuous people, instead of admiring them, let us also live in virtue, having them as the role models of virtue.

Saint Ephraim of Syros

The consistent habit of Bible study is the light in the soul and protects us from passions.

Saint Isaac of Syria

When the woman spends all the money or the most of it in order to buy the ornaments, her hand necessarily is deprived of the generosity of charity.

Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos

When our mind wanders in vain, we can serve no command.

Saint Basil the Great

Every lean and meek person is inclined to charity, because one considers the poverty of others to be one’s own misery.

Agios Ioannis Chrysostomos
