• "The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself: so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, and, mirror like, each soul reflects the other.

  Dante Alighieri

• No tengas en cuenta los sentimientos de quien te habla despectivamente de su prójimo, sino dile: "¡Basta, hermano! Yo caigo cada día en pecados más graves, así que ¿cómo puedo criticarle? De este modo conseguirás dos cosas; te curarás a ti mismo y a tu prójimo con un solo emplasto. Este es uno de los caminos más cortos para el perdón de los pecados; es decir, para no juzgar. `No juzguéis y no seréis juzgados".

  John Climacus

  Brother, Fall, Mean

• It seems to me, and I am personally convinced, that the Church must never speak from a position of strength. [These are shocking words.] It ought not to be one of the forces influencing this or that state. The Church ought to be, if you will, just as powerless as God himself, which does not coerce but which calls and unveils the beauty and the truth of things without imposing them. As soon as the Church begins to exercise power, it loses its most profound characteristic which is divine love [i.e.] the understanding of those it is called to save and not to smash.

• As a magnifying glass concentrates the rays of the sun into a little burning knot of heat that can set fire to a dry leaf or a piece of paper, so the mystery of Christ in the Gospel concentrates the rays of God's light and fire to a point that sets fire to the spirit of man. ... Through the glass of His Incarnation He concentrates the rays of His Divine Truth and Love upon us so that we feel the burn, and all mystical experience is communicated to men through the Man Christ.

• This was the very purpose of creation that each unique, individual being should participate in its own way in the divine Being, should realize its eternal 'idea' in God, should 'become' God by participation, God expressing himself through that unique being.

• En su entrega (la de Cristo) en la cruz todo el dolor y la agonía de la humanidad se concentraron en un solo punto, y pasaron de la muerte a la inmortalidad, No hay dolor de ninguna criatura desde el principio hasta el fin de los tiempos que no haya sido "conocido" en este punto y así transmutado. Conocer todas las cosas en el Verbo es, pues, conocer todos los sufrimientos del mundo transfigurados por la resurrección, de algún modo reconciliados y expiados en la vida eterna. Era el propósito de Dios, que estableció en Cristo como plan para la plenitud de los tiempos, unir en él todas las cosas, las del cielo y las de la tierra'.

• It can happen that when we are at prayer some brothers come to see us. Then we have to choose either to interrupt our prayer or to sadden our brother by refusing to answer him. But love is greater than prayer. Prayer is one virtue among others, whereas love contains them all.

  John Climacus

• Through the fall our nature was stripped of divine illumination and resplendence. But the Logos of God had pity upon our disfigurement, and in His compassion He took our nature upon Himself. On Tabor He manifested it to His elect disciples clothed once again most brilliantly. He showed what we once were and what we shall become through Him in the age to come if we choose to live our present life, as far as possible, in accordance with His ways.

  Gregorio Palamas

• Se puede tener una ética práctica y ese tipo de cosas, pero no hay espiritualidad en ningún aspecto de nuestra civilización occidental. Nuestra vida religiosa es ética, no mística. El misterio ha desaparecido y la sociedad se está desintegrando como resultado.

• If a man sins and denies it, saying, 'I have not sinned,' do not correct him, or you will destroy any intention he might have of changing. If you say, 'Do not be cast down, my brother, but be careful about that in the future,' you will move his heart to repent.
