Consistently pray in all things, so that you might not do anything without the help of God ... Whoever does or busies himself with anything without prayer does not succeed in the end. Concerning this, the Lord said: "Without Me you can't do anything". (John 15:5)

Whoever has a spiritual gift and compassionate toward one who does not have it guards his gift through his compassion. But whoever is proud of his gift loses it through self-opinion.

Failure to do the good that is within your power is hard to forgive. But mercy and prayer reclaim the negligent.

If someone falls into any sin and is not sincerely grieved about it, it is easy for him to fall into the same thing again.

One who has sinned cannot escape retribution in any other way than by repentance corresponding to his sin.

Whoever does not fight the one who despises him, neither in word not in thought, has received true knowledge and demonstrates a firm trust in God.

One evil receives strength from another. In the same way, good deeds also sprout one from another, and the one in whom they are found grows larger.
