Where’s your love? (Saint Isaac the Syrian)

Κατηγορίες: In English

If you’re not holy in your heart, become pure in body, that is don’t commit bodily sins. If you’re not meek, at least make peace with yourself. Don’t be sad if you err, but if you persist in your error. And don’t hate the sinner, but the sin.  Since you think you’re righteous where’s your love for the sinner?

It hastens to steal (Saint John of the Ladder)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Source: wikimedia commons The ant waits for the corn to be gathered and vainglory waits for spiritual riches to accrue. The ant hastens to steal; vainglory rejoices at being lavish. The spirit of despair rejoices when it sees wickedness multiplying; the spirit of vainglory rejoices when it sees virtue multiplying.
