Words from the Saints – June 2, 2022

Gerald Largent

"Yet if from the start we had wanted to keep the commandments and to remain as we were when baptized, we would not have fallen into so many sins or have needed the trials and tribulations of repentance." --St. Peter of Damascus

"The mouth which is continuously giving thanks, receives blessing from God. In the heart that always shows gratitude, grace abides." --St. Isaac the Syrian

"If the serpent, the devil, bites someone secretly, he infects that person with the venom of sin. And if the one who has been bitten keeps silence and does not do penance, and does not want to confess his wound... then his brother and his master, who have the word [of absolution] that will cure him, cannot very well assist him." --St. Jerome

"At first a simple thought about evil makes it into the mind, and if it is kept in the mind, then a passionate motion arises from it, and if you do not extirpate the passion, then it inclines the mind to agreement, and when this happens, it leads the mind to the commission of a sinful deed. Guard your thoughts, for if you do not sin in thought, you will never sin in deed." --St. Maximos the Confessor

"Every day you provide your bodies with good to keep them from failing. In the same way your good works should be the daily nourishment of your hearts. Your bodies are fed with food and your spirits with good works. You aren't to deny your soul, which is going to live forever, what you grant to your body, which is going to die." --St. Gregory the Great

"A saint-like soul helps its neighbor and when ill-treated by him is patient, enduring what it suffers at his hands." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

Words from the Saints – May 19, 2022

Gerald Largent

"Reading the Holy Scriptures is like a treasure. With a treasure, you see, anyone able to find a tiny nugget gains for himself great wealth; likewise in the case of Sacred Scripture, you can get from a small phrase a great wealth of thought and immense riches." --St. John Chrysostom

"How great is the wisdom which the Lord has infused even into little creatures! The turtledove covers her nest with onion sprouts to prevent wolves from attacking her fledglings. She knows that wolves usually shun these sprouts. Why are you heedless in not making provision against the onslaughts of the iniquitous wolves of the spirit by providing greater security for the life which will follow this?" --St. Ambrose of Milan

"No one in creation is rich but he that fears God; no one is truly poor but he that lacks the truth." --St. Ephraim the Syrian

"All who truly believe in Christ and cleave to Him with all their soul, are changed into His image by the power of His Resurrection." --St. Theophan the Recluse

"We must consider all evil things, even the passions which war against us, to be not our own, but of our enemy the devil. This is very important. You can only conquer a passion when you do not consider it as part of you." --St. Nikon of Optina
