Quote of the Holy Fathers
These are the works of righteousness: fasting, alms, vigil, holiness, and the rest of such works performed with the body. Love for one’s neighbor, humility of heart, forgiving those who have sinned, recollection of good things, investigation of the mysteries concealed in the holy Scriptures, the mind’s occupation with good works, the bridling of the soul’s passions and the rest of such virtues, are performed in the soul.
(Saint Isaac the Syrian)
