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

Three precede every sin: negligence, forgetfulness, and lust.

-St. Ephraim the Syrian

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

Sayings of the Desert Fathers
monks learning

#1

إني أبصرت مصابيح من نار محيطـة بالرهبـان وجماعـة من

الملائكة بأيديهم سيوف ملتهبة يحرسونهم، وسمعت صوت

الله القدوس يقول (لا تتركوهم ما داموا مستقيمي الطريق)

             الأنبا أنطونيوس الكبير

 

I have seen lanterns of fire surrounding the monks and a multitude of angels with burning swords in their hands guarding them and I heard the voice of the holy God saying “Do Not Leave them as long as their ways are straight”

                                     -St. Anthony the Great
