Sayings of Saint Paisios

“We ought to struggle to uproot the major passions, since by uprooting a big passion, many other small ones are uprooted.”

***

“The mind of a selfless person ought to dwell more on the love of God, on His sacrifice, while that of a hard person on His judgment, on the retribution: i.e., each analogously.”

***

“Humility and love–there you have it. This is everything.”
