“A mentally ill who corrects other people, is like a blind man who shows the way to others.”
Saint Isaac the Syrian
“Do not distinguish the rich from the poor, and do not want to know the worthy from the unworthy, but treat all men like they are equal in good.”
Saint Isaac the Syrian
“To people poverty in detestable, but to God, proud soul and the high-minded and conceited mind are far more abominable. People honour wealth, but God honours the humiliated soul!”
Saint Isaac the Syrian
“Keep on saying inside your heart: Christ is love. So, you will love all people, sacrificing, for the sake of this Love, anything that is valuable for you, even your own life.”
Saint St. John of Krostandt
“The heart that does not believe is worried, anxious and restless. The heart that believes is the opposite: peaceful, cheery, solid like diamond.”
Saint St. John of Krostandt
“Prefer fatigue from rest.”
Saint George Karslides
“Coldness in prayer is a result of condemnation, wrath and anger, of secular interests and activities, carnal satisfactions and pleasures… Beware of all this, and it will retreat.”
Saint Saint Theophanes the Confessor
“Every work is impregnated with those feelings with which it is carried out. Those who have a pure heart feel this. As fragrance blossoms, fragile works are made with good will. The fragrance of good works rises to the sky, like incense.”
Saint Saint Theophanes the Confessor
“Every reference of the mind and heart to God is a real prayer. If, as you work, you remember God, that is a prayer.”
Saint Theophanes the Confessor
