Words from the Saints -- November 21, 2024

Gerald Largent

"Love unites us to God. Love covers a multitude of sins. Love bears all things, is long-suffering in all things. There is nothing base, nothing arrogant in love. Love admits of no schisms: love gives rise to no seditions: love does all things in harmony. By love have all the elect of God been made perfect; without love nothing is well-pleasing to God." --St. Clement of Rome

"Let your prayer be completely simple. For both the publican and the prodigal son were reconciled to God by a single phrase." --St. John Climacus

Words from the Saints -- November 7, 2024

Gerald Largent

"And, therefore, pray, in spite of the fact that you do not experience in prayer any consolation or pleasure--but only toil--pray, and pray diligently with all possible fervor, train yourself in prayer and in conversation with God; try as far as possible to collect and control your wandering thoughts, and little by little you will feel that it is becoming easier and easier for you, and then you will experience delightful consolations. If you are sincerely earnest, the Holy Spirit, seeing your efforts and the sincerity of your desire, will soon help you; and then He will enter within you and will teach you to pray true prayer..." --St. Innocent of Alaska

"Whenever the Holy Spirit is present, He makes men of gold out of men of clay." --St. John Chrysostom

"Instead of an avenger, be a deliverer. Instead of a faultfinder, be a soother. Instead of a betrayer, be a martyr. Instead of a chider, be a defender. Beseech God on behalf of sinners that they receive mercy, and pray to Him for the righteous, that they be preserved." --St. Isaac the Syrian
