Words from the Saints -- April 27, 2023

Gerald Largent

"Scattering and dispersing the dark and gloomy tempest of sin, Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, shone forth, gleaming not in the hearts and souls of the Apostles only, but in those of all who draw near to Him with faith seeking salvation. 'Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed,' Christ proclaimed; 'Blessed are those who have perceived Me not with bodily eyes, but with the eyes of the heart.'" --St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco

"To whatever thing a man's heart is tied, and where his desire draws him, that is his god." --St. Macarius the Great

"Just as some snakes live in glens and others in houses, so there are some passions which take shape in our thoughts while others express themselves in action. It is possible, however, for them to change from one type to the other." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"He who walks along a precipice, although he may not fall over, yet he trembles and often falls through that very fear. Even so, he who flies not far from sin, but keeps near to it, lives in continual fear, and often falls." --St. John Chrysostom

Gerald Largent

"The humble soul is blessed. The Lord loves her. The Mother of God is higher than all in humility, and therefore all races bless her on earth, while the heavenly powers serve her. And the Lord has given us this blessed Mother of His as a defender and helper." --St. Silouan of Mt. Athos

"If you forgive few things, He forgives you few! If you forgive many things, He forgives you many!" --St. John Chrysostom

"The roots of evil thoughts are the obvious vices, which we keep trying to justify in our words and actions." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"Let us not procrastinate till tomorrow. For we ‘know not what the next day may bring forth,’ nor let us say, ‘we shall conquer this habit little by little,’ since this little and little will never come to an end." --St. John Chrysostom
