Something for Sunday Morning

"[T]hose who are nothing but flesh and are addicted to self-love always serve sensuality and vanity; envy too is rooted in them."

"Those who speak from their own thoughts, before having acquired purity, are seduced by the spirit of self-esteem."

"He who weeps and thinks of the horrors that both precede and follow death, before they actually come to pass, cannot help but have patience and humility. . .".

Gregory of Sinai
