Words from the Saints -- December 5, 2024

Gerald Largent

"Prayer does not consist merely in standing and bowing your body or in reading written prayers….it is possible to pray at all times, in all places, with mind and spirit. You can lift up your mind and heart to God while walking, sitting, working, in a crowd and in solitude. His door is always open, unlike man’s. We can always say to Him in our hearts 'Lord, Lord have mercy.'” --St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

"Wickedness is an intricate net; and if someone is careless when partially entangled, he gets completely enmeshed." --St. Mark the Ascetic

"Descend into your heart, and there do battle with Satan." --St. Macarius the Great

"If you wish to be in control of your soul and body, forestall the passions by rooting out their causes." --St. Thalassios the Libyan
