Help On The Path
“Like a good and loving physician, God heals with individual treatment each of those who are trying to make progress.”
–St. Maximos the Confessor (Christian, Monk, Theologian and Scholar, c.580-662)
Detachment
“When your intellect in its great longing for God gradually withdraws from the flesh and turns away from all thoughts that have their source in your sense-perception, memory or soul-body temperament, and when it becomes full of reverence and joy, then you may conclude that you are close to the frontiers of prayer.”
–Evagrios the Solitary (a.k.a. Evagrius Ponticus, Pontus-born Christian Mystic, Writer and “Desert Father,” c.346-399)
