The River of Fire

It is written, “As the deer longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for Thee, O God.”

Whom have we, Lord, like you? - The Great One who became small, the Wakeful who slept, The Pure One who was baptized, the Living One who died, The King who abased himself to ensure honor for all. Blessed is your honor!

It is right that man should acknowledge your divinity, It is right for heavenly beings to worship your humanity. The heavenly beings were amazed to see how small you became, And earthly ones to see how exalted.

~St. Ephrem the Syrian

"Just as a basic concern is to be careful of anything that might be harmful to our physical health, so our spiritual concern should watch out for anything that might harm our spiritual life and the work of faith and salvation. Therefore, carefully and attentively assess your inner impulses: are they from God or from the spirit of evil? "

~St John Maximovitch +(1896-1966)

Seek God daily. But seek Him in your heart, not outside it. And when you find Him, stand with fear and trembling, like the Cherubim and Seraphim, for your heart has become a throne of God. But in order to find God, become humble as dust before the Lord, for the Lord abhors the proud; whereas He visits those that are humble in heart, wherefore He says: “To whom will I look, but to the one who is meek and humble in heart?”

~St. Nectarius of Aegina

Most Holy Theotokos Save Us!

Any circumstance in which a man finds himself unwillingly is like a prison for him. So be content with whatever circumstances you may now be in, lest by being ungrateful you punish yourself without realizing it.

~St. Anthony the Great

It is not necessary to roam heaven and earth after God or to send our mind to seek Him in different places. Purify your soul, O son of man, remove from yourself the thought of memories outside of nature; hang the veil of chastity and humility before your impulses. By means of these you will be able to find Him who is within you.

~St. Isaac the Syrian

love…

If you wish to be saved, seek no other thing here in this world as much as love.

~St Kosmas Aitolos

grace…

"A little effort, of course, is required, but profound humility is not acquired only by struggle and exertion. It is a gift of grace. I say this from my own experience: what I have, I have by grace. Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Christ gives everything."

~Elder Porphyrios

silence…

“I have often repented of having spoken, but never of having been silent.”

~Abba Arsenius

Wisdom…

"Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born. Thou shalt not withdraw thy hand from thy son, or from thy daughter, but from their infancy thou shalt teach them the fear of the Lord."

~Epistle of Barnabas: Chapter XIX

experience…

"Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn."

~C.S.Lewis

my heart…

"My heart only has entrances. It doesn’t have exits. Whoever enters remains there. Whatever he may do, I love him the same as I loved him when he first entered into my heart. I pray for him and seek his salvation."

~Elder Epiphanios

remember…

Remember constantly that the light of your soul, of your thoughts, and of your heart comes from Jesus Christ.

~St John of Kronstadt

concentrate…

If we would concentrate on divine truth as seen in Christ, all need for a stream of words disappears, until finally the mind enters the realm of profound silence.

~Archimandrite Sophrony
