"When God wants to have mercy on someone, He inspires someone else to pray for him, and He helps in this prayer." --St. Silouan of Mt. Athos

"The beginning of evil is heedlessness." --St. Poemen

"He who stands in awe of God searches for the divine principles that God has implanted in creation; the lover of truth finds them." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

"The remembrance of God is suffering of heart endured in a spirit of devotion. But he who forgets God becomes self-indulgent and insensitive." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"What use is it if we distribute all of our goods to the poor, but fail to make a break with evil and to hate sin? What use is it if, while we do not actively commit bodily sin, we mentally engage in shameful and unclean thoughts and invisibly commit sin and are governed and controlled by unrestrained passions of the soul?" --St. Simeon the New Theologian

"It is not an abundance of words that supplicate God, but a pure soul which manifests good deeds." --St. John Chrysostom

Words from the Saints – August 11, 2022

"The Kingdom of Heaven, O man, requires no other price than yourself. The value of it is yourself. Give yourself for it and you shall have it." --St. Augustine of Hippo

"So, morning or evening, immediately before you begin to repeat your prayers, stand awhile, sit for awhile, or walk a little and try to steady your mind and turn it away from all worldly activities and objects. After this, think who He is to whom you turn in prayer, then recollect who you are; who it is who is about to start this invocation to Him in prayer. Do this in such a way as to awake in your heart a feeling of humility and reverent awe that your are standing in the presence of God. It is the beginning of prayer, and a good beginning is half the complete task." --St. Theophan the Recluse

"Before the war begins, seek after your ally; before you fall ill, seek out your physician; and before grievous things come upon you, pray, and in the time of your tribulations you will find Him, and He will listen to you." --St. Isaac the Syrian
