Repentance makes virgins out of adulterers
Prayer is the source of all good actions and virtue.
He who puts aside the fear of God cannot long continue in good, but shall quickly fall into the snares of the devil.
Keep your mind in hell, and despair not
When St Andrew was threatened bwith death upon the cross if he did not stay his preaching he answered "If I feared the cross I should not be preaching the cross"
For there is nothing which so welds our life together as the love of man and wife
My beloved brother, a spirit which desires to be released knows well its own worth. It knows how magnificently great it is and how much greater it is than to be humiliated by the flesh, the environment, or by the devils.
Our only contribution toward perfection in prayer, the mother of all spiritual good, is regularity and constancy.
The spirit which is pure, sincere, and steadfast is not distracted though it hath many works to do, because it doth all things to the honour of God, and strives to be free from all thoughts of self-seeking
Indeed tribulation is a school of prayer
To believe in a God is one thing, to know God another
As long as sin is a state of being separated from God, then repentance will be the means of returning to God. As long as sin is being opposed to God, or being unfaithful to Him, then repentance will be the means of reconciliation with God.
Be courageous in God, and do not get desperate…
Do not get desperate however powerful the wars of the devil are.
Do not get desperate no matter how many times you fall and forget the commandments and fail in your practices.
...Say to yourself, “...Even If I fall a hundred times on the way, I shall rise and proceed on my way…
I shall never accept despair because it is from the devil.”
Faith comes not gthrough pondering but through action. Not words and speculation but experience teaches us hat God is.
For true peace of heart is to be found in resisting passion, not in yielding to it.
There is no sin without forgiveness except that which is without repentance
Oh young men, arise and see how many souls are daily perishing around you. Is it not your duty to save them? Be brave soldiers of Christ. Go forward in full armor, crush Satans work, and victory shall be yours. Christ has given you a precious oppurtunity to be saved and save others. If you are careless now, you will never get another chance for you will never pass through the field of battle again. The day is fast approaching where we shall see the martyrs in their glory, who gave their health, wealth, and lives to win souls for Christ. Oh may we not blush in that day
For the spirit to be released is for it to be released from the knowledge of Good and Evil
God is merciful before a fall, inexorable after - so the demons say.
The value of a piece of work is in its endurance. A strong action is one that even after your life... It continues into eternity where God will remember it for you... And continues on earth where people remember you for it...
Pride is a denial of God, an invention of the devil, contempt for men. It is the mother of condemnation, the offspring of praise, a sign of barrenness. It is a flight from God's help, the harbinger of madness, the author of downfall. It is the cause of diabolic possession, the source of anger, the gateway of hypocrisy. It is the fortress of demons, the custodian of sins, the source of hardheartedness. It is the denial of compassion, a bitter pharisee, a cruel judge. It is the foe of God. It is the root of blasphemy
