"The wickedness of men is hidden behind their backs." --St. Poemen
"Nothing so defiles and so makes impure the work of the hands of God as when someone begins to deify it and worship it like God, who created the universe....The Son of God and God came down to earth so as to recreate man...to give life to him who had become dead, and to call him from deception and error." --St. Symeon the New Theologian

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!

"The demons either tempt us themselves or arm against us those who have no fear of the Lord. They tempt us themselves when we withdraw from human society, as they, tempted our Lord in the desert. They tempt us through other people when we spend our time in the company of others, as they tempted our Lord through the Pharisees. But whichever line of attack they choose, let us repel them by keeping our gaze fixed on the Lord's example." --St. Maximos the Confessor
"Obedience is the complete renunciation of one's own soul, demonstrated, however, by actions. More exactly, it is the death of the senses in a living soul. Obedience is a freely chosen death, a life without cares, danger without fears, unshakable trust in God, no fear of death. It is a voyage without perils, a journey in your sleep. Obedience is the burial of the will and the resurrection of humility. Obedience is to give up one's own judgment but to do it with wise consultation. It is very costly, beginning to die to the will and the senses. To continue dying is hard but not indefinitely so. In the end all aversion stops and absolute peace takes command." --St. John Climacus
"The greater a man's faith that Christ will reward him, the greater his readiness to endure every injustice." --St. Mark the Ascetic
"You propose to give up everything to God; be sure, then, to include yourself among the things to be given up." --St. Benedict of Nursia
"We depict Christ as our King and Lord, and we do not strip Him of His army. For the saints are the Lord's army." --St. John of Damascus

Lord, I want to wash away the record of my sins with tears, and through the rest of my life please You with repentance. But the Enemy deceives me and fights against my soul. Lord, before I perish utterly, save me!
If one takes refuge from the tempest in this harbor, will one not be saved? If in agony one kneels before this house of healing, will not one be cured? Maker-of-All and Physician of the Sick: Lord, before I perish utterly, save me (Colossians 2:14)!
Savior, wash me with my tears, for I am defiled by many sins. Therefore, I fall down before You: I have sinned, have mercy on me, O God!
I am a sheep in Your rational flock, and I flee to You for refuge, Good Shepherd. O God, I have gone astray: Seek me and have mercy on me (John 10:11).

"All men are made in God's image; but to be in His likeness is granted only to those who through great love have brought their own freedom into subjection to God. For only when we do not belong to ourselves do we become like Him who through love has reconciled us to Himself. No one achieves this unless he persuades his soul not to be distracted by the false glitter of this life." --St. Diadochos of Photiki
"Humility consists, not in condemning our conscience, but in recognizing God's grace and compassion." --St. Mark the Ascetic
"Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife." --St. Leo the Great
"Obedience to the commandments is the resurrection of the dead, for by nature life follows upon virtue." --St. Thalassios the Libyan
"If you have faith in the Lord you will fear punishment, and this fear will lead you to control the passions. Once you control the passions you will accept affliction patiently, and through such acceptance you will acquire hope in God. Hope in God separates the intellect from every worldly attachment, and when the intellect is detached in this way it will acquire love for God." --St. Maximos the Confessor
