Words from the Saints -- December 12, 2024

Gerald Largent

"He took what is mine in order that He might impart to me what is His. He took it not to overturn it but to fill it." --St. Ambrose of Milan

"God is nearer to us than any man at every time. He is nearer to me than my raiment, nearer than the air or light, nearer than my wife, father, mother, daughter, son, or friend. I live in Him, soul and body. I breathe in Him, think in Him, feel, consider, intend, speak, undertake, work in Him." --St. John of Kronstadt

"If then we have angels, let us be sober, as though we were in the presence of tutors; for there is a demon present also." --St. John Chrysostom

"It is an insult to the intelligence to be subject to what lacks intelligence and to concern itself with shameful desires." --St. Thalassios the Libyan

"You who judge others, at some time be also a judge of yourself, look into the recesses of your own conscience; rather, because there is no shame, indeed, in doing wrong, and sin is so committed as if pleasure came rather through sins themselves, do you who are seen clearly and nakedly by all yourself also look upon yourself." --St. Cyprian of Carthage

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
