Il est aussi malséant pour les serviteurs de la chair et du ventre d'explorer le domaine spirituel que pour une femme de mauvaise vie de parler de chasteté. Le feu ne prend pas au bois humide ; la chaleur divine ne s'allume pas dans un coeur amoureux de la quiétude terrestre.
Saint Isaac le Syrien

Église Orthodoxe Russe Hors Frontières : Métropolite Philaret
Georgy Nikolayevich Voznesensky (22 March 1903 Kursk, Russia – 21 November 1985, New York City, USA) the First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.
The spiritual legacy of Metropolitan Philaret includes sermons, talks, teachings and “A Summary of Moral Theology"
Orthodox Christianity cannot limit its concept of the truly beautiful only to what pleases our sense of beauty by the elegance of its form, but must see as truly beautiful all that is morally valuable. True beauty always elevates, ennobles, enlightens man's soul and sets before it the ideals of truth and good. An Orthodox Christian never acknowledges as beautiful that phenomenon or work of art, which even though it be of perfect execution, does not purify and enlighten man's soul but rather debases and soils it.

St. Ambrose of Optina
Experience, confirmed by centuries, shows that the sign of the cross has great power over all human actions throughout the entire course of his life. Therefore, it is necessary to take care to instill in children the custom of protecting themselves with the sign of the cross more often, and especially before eating and drinking, going to bed and getting up, before leaving, before going out and before entering somewhere, and so that children make the sign of the cross not carelessly or in a fashionable way, but with precision, starting from the forehead to the chest and on both shoulders, so that the cross comes out correctly.🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Begin and end each day with prayer. This is joy and life for the soul. Look at a candle: the fire always strives upward, not downward; the wind may shake it, tilt it to the side, but it will turn upward again. So the soul always strives for God: this is its prayer. The corrupting breath of the vain world may disturb it, lead it astray, but in silence it again turns to heaven. Fortunately for you!

Hieroschemamonk Macarius of Optina, venerable
Mikhail Nikolaevich Ivanov (November 20 (December3), Dmitrov district, Oryol viceroyalty, 1788 – September 7 (20), 1860, Optina Hermitage) a clergyman of the Russian Orthodox Church and a venerable Optina elder.
When you do not have much time for prayer, be content with what you have, and God will accept your will; remember that the publican's feeling is pleasing to God in prayer, and be careful not to put a price on your prayer: this is God's work, not ours.
In your present vain time, if you happen to fail to fulfill the rule, do not be embarrassed, but replace it with humility.

Saint Tikhone de Zadonsk
secular name Timofey Savelyevich Sokolov (1724, Novgorod region – 1783, Zadonskiy Nativity Virgin Monastery).
Russian Orthodox bishop and spiritual writer whom the Eastern Orthodox Church glorified (canonized) as a saint in 1861.
While standing in church attend diligently to the reading and singing. This gives birth to compunction, true prayer, heartfelt singing and thanksgiving.
Avoid, then, standing bodily in church while wandering outside the church in mind, and standing bodily before God while wandering about in spirit in worldly affairs, lest that saying be applied to you, “his people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me” (Mt. 15:8).
