We should never forget that our guardian angel is always invisibly beside us; he guards us and he protects us. But it is necessary that we are also careful in our lives and that we not sin.
Paisios of Mount Athos
Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.
John Chrysostom
Whoever will not love his enemies cannot know the Lord and the sweetness of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us to love our enemies in such way that we pity their souls as if they were our own children.
Silouan the Athonite
