Brethren, the just man shall scarcely be saved. What, then, will become of the sinner?

O God, do not leave me. I have done nothing good in Your sight, but according to Your goodness, let me now make a beginning of good.

Strive with all your might to bring your interior activity into accord with God, and you will overcome exterior passions.

Brethren, the just man shall scarcely be saved. What, then, will become of the sinner?

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