St John Chrysostom
Holy Scripture leads us to God St Silouan of Mount Athos
and opens the Path to the Knowledge of God.
When our soul, by the Holy spirit,
Of all the afflictions that burden mankind, comes to know the Mother of God,
there is not one whether spiritual or physical when in the Holy Spirit our soul becomes kin
that cannot be Healed by Holy Scripture. to the Holy Apostles, the Prophets of God
and all the Saints and Righteous,
Just as those who are deprived of light then we are irrestibly drawn to that world
cannot walk straight, and cannot remain...
So also those who do not behold the Rays of Holy Scripture we are bothered and we thirst,
must necessarily sin, and we cannot cease from Prayer,
since they walk in the deepest of Spiritual Darkness! and although our body becomes exhausted
and want to lie down on a bed,
even while lying down,
our soul will long for our Lord
and the Kingdom of Saints.
