Words from the Saints -- April 11, 2024
Gerald Largent
"Prayer is a request for what is good, offered by the devout of God. But we do not restrict this request simply to what is stated in words… We should not express our prayer merely in syllables, but the power of prayer should be expressed in the moral attitude of our soul and in the virtuous actions that extend throughout our life… This is how you pray continually — not by offering prayer in words, but by joining yourself to God through your whole way of life, so that your life becomes one continuous and uninterrupted prayer." --St. Basil the Great
"Many of us feel remorse for our sins, yet we gladly accept their causes." --St. Mark the Ascetic
"Seek nothing other than to fear Him, to love Him, and to walk in all His ways. This is your boast, and this is your God." --St. Gregory Palamas
