“If you don’t forgive your enemy, you do not
hurt him, but yourself”
St. John Chrysostom
“Just as the Son of Man is coming with His
angels in the glory of the Father, so is the Word of God transformed in the
worthy with each advance in virtue.”
St. Maximos the Confessor
“Find the door
of your
heart, and you will discover it
is the door of the Kingdom
of God”
St. John Chrysostom
“Our life and death is with our neighbour. If
we gain our brother, we have gained God, but if we have sinned against our
brother, we have sinned against God.”
Abba Anthony
“Lord and Master of my life, do not give me a
spirit of sloth, idle curiosity, love of power and useless chatter. Rather
accord to me, your servant, a spirit of sobriety, humility, patience and
love. Yes, Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to condemn
my brother and sister; for you are blessed to the ages of ages. Amen.”
Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian
“Love of God and hatred of any
man are absolutely incompatible with one another”
St. Maximos the Confessor
“A man should expect temptation till his last
breath”
St. Anthony
“Let us forgive others when they bring us
temptations, because all of us are tempted by the same enemy”
St. Maximos the Confessor
“Let no one fear death, for the Saviour’s
death has set us free”
St. John Chrysostom
“Feeding the hungry is a greater work than
raising the dead”
St. John Chrysostom
“True prayer is that in which one forgets
that one is in prayer”
St. Anthony
“Have you committed a sin? Then enter the
Church and repent your sin…. For here is the Physician, not the Judge; here
one is not investigated but receives remission of sins”
St. John Chrysostom
“The Church is a house common to us all, and
you are awaiting us when we enter…That is why immediately afterward we greet
you by giving the peace”
St. John Chrysostom
