"Blessed dispassion raises the poor mind from the earth to heaven, raises the beggar from the dunghill of passion.  And love, all praise to it, makes him sit with princes, that is with holy angels, and with the princes of God's people." St. John Climacus

Take heed to yourself lest you become a partaker of the blood of the iniquitous man by not taking pains to deliver him; but rather try with your whole soul to rescue him, even to the point of dying for his sake. St. Isaac the Syrian

Though at times despondency befalls us on account of our solitude, yet through the faith of our heart, we possess the ineffable consolation of faith whereby we reckon afflictions and even death as naught. St. Isaac the Syrian

O Lord, you search me and you know me, you know my resting and my rising, you discern my purpose from afar. You mark when I walk or lie down, all my ways lie open to you. Before ever a word is on my tongue you know it, O Lord, through and through. Behind and before you

O Lord, you search me and you know me,
 you know my resting and my rising,
 you discern my purpose from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down,
 all my ways lie open to you.

Before ever a word is on my tongue
 you know it, O Lord, through and through.
Behind and before you

City a Desert Episode 592. St. Hesychios the Priest. The Philokalia Volume I: 120. We embitter the heart with the poison-of evil thoughts when we are led by forgetfulness to long neglect of inner attention and the Jesus Prayer. But we sweeten it with the sense of blessed delight

Thrice bless'd are they, who feel their loneliness - for sick at heart, beyond the veil they fly,/ Seeking His Presence, who alone can bless. St. J. H. Newman
