8:42 am	Bless the Lord, O my soul... "Love, as much as you can, silently to stand with Mary at the feet of Christ our Lord and to listen to what He has to say to your soul. Beware, lest your enemies, the greatest of whom is you yourself, hinder this holy standing in silence before the Lord. When you seek God with your mind, to come to rest in God, do not assign to Him any place or limits by your narrow and impotent fantasy. For He has no limit and is everywhere and in all things, or rather--all things are in Him. You will find Him within yourself, in your soul, every time you truly seek Him. God Himself desires to be with us, sons of men, to make us worthy of Him, although He has no need of us." -- From "Unseen Warfare" as edited by St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain and revised by St. Theophan the Recluse http://www.svspress.com/product_info.php?products_id=276 (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:52 am	Let all mortal flesh keep silence... Theophilus of holy memory, bishop of Alexandria, journeyed to Scetis and the brethren coming together said to abba Pambo, "Say a word or two to the bishop, that his soul may be edified in this place." The old man replied, "If he is not edified by my silence, there is no hope that he will be edified by my words." -- From the Sayings of the Desert Fathers (5 Comments |Comment on this)
