ثلاثة تسبق كل خطية:
الغفلة – النسيان – الشهوة
مارإفرايم السرياني

لنستعمل اللسان فى ذكـر اللـه وعدلــــه
لنتخلــــــــص مـــــن خطايــــا اللســــــــان
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Let us use the tongue for the utterance of God’s name and His justice so that we may be freed from the sins of the tongue.

إن الراهب غريب في أرض غريبــــــــة،
فإذا أراد أن يجد راحــــة فعليـــه أن لا
ُيشغل نفسه بأي شئ فيهــــــا.
القديس أرسانيوس

The monk is a sojourner in a strange land. If he wants to find true comfort, he must not occupy himself with anything in it.

-St. Arsenius
