“The incessant invocation of God’s name, is a medicine which mortifies not just the passions, but even their influence. Just as the physician puts medications or dressings on a wound that it might be healed, without the patient even knowing the manner of their operation, so also the name of God, when we invoke it, mortifies all passions, though we do not know how that happens.” St Barsanuphius the Great #prayer #Jesusprayer #fasting #Lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

As all that is in the world, are not enough to satisfy the soul, or to provide her with true pleasure, why then would you labor, O foolish man, and wander around in many places, expecting to find goods that would satisfy your soul and body? You should rather seek the One, who has all the goods; as in Him you would find your satisfaction.

The Word has predicted all this through Isaiah by saying, My servants shall be called by a new name, which will be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God, and those who swear upon the earth shall swear in the name of the true God. And he adds, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall hunger; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall thirst; behold, my servants shall exult with…

“Make the effort to rise from the ground. Remember the good Shepherd who will follow and rescue you… Remember the mercies of God and how He cures you by pouring on oil and wine. Do not despair of salvation. Recall your memory of how it is written in the Scriptures, that he who has fallen rises, and he who turns away returns; the wounded one is healed, the prey of wild beasts escapes; he who confesses his sin is not rejected. The Lord does not desire the death of a sinner but rather that he should turn and live.” St Basil the Great…
