"The movements of the tongue and the heart in prayer are keys; what comes after them, however, is the entrance into the treasury...Here let those who seek tarry, for the Master of the house has come." St. Isaac the Syrian, Homily 23

Study every day the lives of the Saints and their teachings, so that you may find rest in their words. — Saint Isaac the Syrian

« Oui, le Seigneur est bon, éternel est son amour, sa fidélité demeure d'âge en âge. » Ps 99:5

Glory to You, O Lord! Glory to You! 🙏

"He is the reality beneath time and the eternity behind being. He is the time within which things happen...He is coming-to-be amid whatever happens. He is the being...underlying the things which are, however they are. For God is not some kind of being. No....in Him and around Him all being is and subsists. He was not. He will not be. He did not come to be. He is not in the midst of becoming. He will not come to be. No. He is not." St. Dionysius the Areopagite, The Divine Names

"I do not contest the point that many have proved well-pleasing to God through outward actions, but these are fewer than those who have done so through prayer and the abandonment of all." St. Isaac the Syrian, Homily 21

"Before the Law and before Christ's coming many people...were able to please God without these aids...If this is so, what excuse have we...who live after sin and death have been destroyed? After the regeneration of Baptism, the protection of the holy angels, and the overshadowing and descent of the Holy Spirit, shall we not be found equal to those who lived before grace?...Whenever, then, we fall into any kind of sin, let no one of us accuse and blame Adam...be penitent until death and bewail your own sin." St. Symeon the New Theologian

"He who is the Only One begotten of the Only One...not only did He become like them, becoming Man, He undertook to die like them and chose for Himself a violent and most shameful death. He descended into hell and raised them thence. Would not He, then...have had compassion on [Adam and Eve] if they had repented in paradise?...Indeed, I believe this would have happened!...But they were cast out because of their impenitence...How great the power of penitence and tears!" St. Symeon the New Theologian
