Every sin that is left without repentance is a sin unto death, for which if even a saint shall pray, he shall not be heard.
Marcus EremitaOne 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.
Marcus EremitaThe devil makes small sins seem smaller in our eyes, for otherwise he can't lead us to greater evil.
Marcus EremitaIf someone puts his trust in God in a matter, let him not argue with his brother about it.
Marcus EremitaFailure to do the good that is within your power is hard to forgive. But mercy and prayer reclaim the negligent.
Marcus EremitaIn the spiritual life we can do nothing worthy without repentance, but the Lord has much mercy on us because of our intentions. He who compels himself and holds on to repentance until the end, even if he sins is saved because he compelled himself, for the Lord promised this in the Gospel.
