Spiritual Quotes
"…from the things you hear against someone you should not believe anything, and out of what you see believe half. And not even half for many pretend to be fools. Do not judge anyone."
Fr. Dionysius of Mt. Athos
An Athonite Gerontikon p. 351
"…Prayer begins on God’s part as a secret call to stand before Him. We then carry it as a free response in our yearning to speak with Him. Afterward, prayer assumes its divine purpose as an act of repentance and purification. It subsequently attains its ultimate goal as a sacrifice of love and humility that prepares us for fellowship with God…Prayer is the condition in which we discover our own divine image, on which the stamp of the Holy Trinity is impressed."
Fr. Matthew the Poor
Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way, p. 23
"Detachment from things does not mean setting up a contradiction between ‘things’ and ‘God’ as if God were another thing and as if creatures were His rivals. We do not detach ourselves from things in order to attach ourselves to God, but rather we become detached from ourselves in order to see and use all things in and for God."
Fr. Thomas Merton
New Seeds of Contemplation, p. 23
"The nature of things is measured by the interior disposition of the soul; that is, the kind of person one is will determine what he thinks of others. He who has attained to genuine prayer and love no longer puts things into categories. He does not separate the righteous from sinners, but loves all equally, and does not judge them, just as God gives the sun to shine and the rain to fall both on the just and the unjust."
St. Nikitas Stethatos
from the Philokalia
To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted.
