Like the apple of Thine eye preserve me, O Lord God; defend me and beneath Thy wings shelter me from temptations.

The fear of God illumines the soul, annihilates evil, weakens the passions, drives darkness from the soul and makes it pure. The fear of God is the summit of wisdom. Where it is not you will find nothing good. Whoever does not have the fear of God is open to diabolical falls.

Blessed the one who continually humbles himself willingly; he will be crowned by the One who willingly humbled himself for our sake.

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own sin and not to judge my brother, for You are blessed from all ages to all ages. Amen

Blessed the one who loves truth continually and has not lent his mouth as an instrument of impiety by lying, for he fears the commandment about idle speech.

It is blasphemy if you pray before God while you are full of anger.

Prayer is converse with God, equal honor with the Angels, progress in good things, averting of evils, righting of sinners.
