Do not mock or condemn one who has fallen into temptation, but pray more often that you yourself may not fall into temptation.
When you make the sign of the Cross, remember all the power of the Cross, all the work of our salvation, and you will quench your anger and all other passions.
If there had been no Cross, Life would not have been nailed to the tree. And if Life had not been nailed to the tree, then from His side would not have flowed the streams of immortality—blood and water that cleanse the world.
If you trace the sign of the Cross upon yourself with great faith, not one of the unclean spirits will dare approach you, seeing that sword from which it once received its mortal wound.
Sin is the transgression of the Law of God, the failure to fulfill the holy commandments of God.
A man who has undertaken the path of inner watchfulness must first of all possess the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom.
If you make the sign of the Cross upon yourself with great faith, no unclean spirit will be able to come near you, seeing that sword from which it has received a mortal wound.
St. Ephraim the Syrian
We give glory to You, O Lord, who raised up Your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge, by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living.

Prayer is a preservative for chastity, the training of the soul, the taming of arrogance, purification from remembrance of wrongs, the annihilation of hatred, and the correction of wickedness. Prayer is a fortress to the body, prosperity to a home, beautification to a city, might to a kingdom, a sign of victory in times of battle, and the strength of the world

We have already told you that the end of the world is near, the consummation remains. Has not faith withered away among mankind?
