Words from the Saints -- February 9, 2023

Gerald Largent

"Every evil is a sickness of soul, but virtue offers the cause of its health." --St. Basil the Great

"The man ensnared by pride will need God's help, since man is of no use to him." --St. John Climacus

"Do not listen to talk about other people's sins. For through such listening the form of these sins is imprinted on you." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"Love, unchangeable tranquility and our adoption as children of God are different from each other only in name. As light, fire and flame are present in the selfsame operation, so are these three manifestations of the Spirit. When someone is completely permeated with the love of God, the brightness of his soul is reflected by his whole personality as if in a mirror. Therefore the one who loves God also loves his brother or sister. Indeed, the second love is the proof of the first." --St. John Climacus

"Seek to learn on earth those truths which will remain ever valid in Heaven." --St. Jerome

"A son of God is a person who through wisdom, power and righteousness has become like God." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

"Love sinners, but hate their works, and do not despise them for their faults, lest you be tempted by the same. Remember that you share the earthly nature of Adam and that you are clothed with his infirmity." --St. Isaac the Syrian

Words from the Saints -- February 2, 2023

Gerald Largent

"Do not ask how a poor man can be self-indulgent when he lacks the material means. For it is possible to be self-indulgent in a yet more despicable way through one's thoughts." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"When the soul of a man departs from the body, a certain great mystery is there enacted. If a person is under the guilt of sin, bands of demons and fallen angels approach along with the powers of darkness which capture the soul and drag it as a captive to their place. No one should be surprised by this fact. For if, while a man lived in this life, he was subject to them and was their obedient slave, how much more, when he leaves this world, is he captured and controlled by them?" --St. Macarius the Great

"It is a fact, brothers and sisters, that the path of the saints in this life is one full of troubles. They either endure the pain of longing for that which is to come, like the one who said, ‘Woe is me that I have such a long pilgrimage’ (Psalm 120/121:5) or they are distressed by their longing for the salvation of others, as Paul wrote to the Corinthians, ‘I am afraid that when I come to you, God may humble me and cause me to weep and mourn over many who have sinned and not repented of impurity, fornication and licentiousness which they have practiced.'" --St. Athanasius

Words from the Saints -- January 26, 2023

Gerald Largent

"Whether or not they are alive, we ought to keep clear of those who are in the grip of such dreadful errors. It is necessary always to avoid what is harmful, and not to be worried about public opinion but rather to consider what is pleasing to God. [Titus 3:10-11]" --St. Cyril of Alexandria

"Nothing created by God is evil. It is not food that is evil but gluttony, not the begetting of children but unchastity, not material things but avarice, not esteem but self-esteem. It is only the misuse of things that is evil, not the things themselves." --St. Maximos the Confessor

"If someone shuts a snake and a scorpion up in a bottle, in time, they will be completely destroyed. So it is with evil thoughts: they are suggested by the demons; they disappear through patience." --St. Poemen

"Blessed is the one who honors the Saints and loves his neighbor and has banished envy from his own soul; envy through which Cain became his brothers' murderer." --St. Ephraim of Syria
