"The devil loves and always rejoices over the ungoverned; those who are not subject to one who has power, under God, to help them and to give them a hand." --St. Dorotheos of Gaza
"There is one antidote for evil passions: the purification of our souls which takes place through the mystery of godliness. The chief act of faith in this mystery is to look to Him who suffered the passion for us. The cross is the passion, so that whoever looks to it? is not harmed by the poison of desire. To look to the cross means to render one's whole life dead and crucified to the world." --St. Gregory of Nyssa
"Idleness is the enemy of the soul; and therefore the brethren ought to be employed in manual labor at certain times, at others, in devout reading." --St. Benedict of Nursia
"Once the soul starts to feel its own good health, the images in its dreams are also calm and free from passion." --St. Maximos the Confessor
"Beside each believer stands an Angel as protector and shepherd, leading him to life." --St. Basil the Great
"Grace has been given mystically to those who have been baptized into Christ; and it becomes active within them to the extent that they actively observe the commandments. Grace never ceases to help us secretly; but to do good - as far as lies in our power - depends on us." --St. Mark the Ascetic

Lord, I do not cease my sin; I do not comprehend Your love for mankind, Only Good One! But overcome my blindness, and have mercy on me!
Lord, even though I fear You, I do not cease to do evil. Who at judgment does not fear the Judge? Or who, desiring healing, chases away the Physician as I do? Have compassion on my infirmity, and have mercy on me, O Patient Lord!
Woe is me! Why have I become like the barren fig tree? I fear cursing and cutting down! But, Heavenly Gardener, Christ my God, reveal my parched soul to be fruitful. Accept me as You did the prodigal son and have mercy on me!
Disregard the great number of my transgressions, Lord born of the Virgin. Blot out all my iniquities; grant me, I pray, a firm intention to change, for You are the Lover of Mankind, and have mercy on me!

"In doing penance it is necessary to deprive oneself of as many lawful pleasures as we had the misfortune to indulge in unlawful ones." --St. Gregory the Great
"That your enemies have been created is God's doing; that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? "Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them!" You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become." --St. Augustine of Hippo
"We should love the Lord as we do our friends. Many a time I have seen people bring grief to God, without being bothered about it, and I have seen these very same people resort to every device, plan, pressure, plea from themselves and their friends, and every gift, simply to restore an old relationship upset by some minor grievance." --St. John Climacus

Lord, I long to wash away with tears the record of all my sins, and to spend the remaining days of my life pleasing You through repentance, but the devil continually deceives me! He wages war against my soul! Save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!
Who, when bestormed, if he runs to this Haven is not saved? Or who that is sick, if he runs to this Healing, is not made whole? Lord, the Maker of all and Physician of the sick, save me, before I utterly perish, O Lord!
I flee for refuge to You, the Good Shepherd; I am a sheep of Your rational flock! O God, I have gone astray; seek me, and have mercy on me!
Savior, wash me in my tears, for I am defiled by many sins. Therefore I fall before You: I have sinned; have mercy on me, O God!
