Sayings of the Desert Fathers

#28

إذا كنت واقفاً في القداس فراقب أفكارك لكي توقف جسدك وحواسك بخوف اللـه لتستحق أن تتناول من القربان الذي هو جســـد المسيــح ودمـــــه الأقدسيـــــــن فيشفيـــك الـــــــرب.
الأنبا أشعياء

If you are in the divine liturgy, watch your thoughts to suppress your body and senses with the fear of God that you may be worthy to partake of the holy body of Christ and His holy blood, so that God may heal you.

-St. Isaiah
