Know that All that You Have Received from God, Was Given as a Loan

Buy yourself rest with struggle, the unseen face of God with watchfulness, the delight of eternal goods through fasting and thirst. Keep in your head your mind and knowledge; in your eyes the look of God; under your feet the ground where you shall return; in your ears the teachings of the Bible.

Fasting Means Abstinence from Wickedness

Fast needs to be accompanied by good deeds and abstinence from wickedness.

There Is no Wiser Man than the Merciful Man

Those who are obsessed by material goods are always sad and worried because they fear to lose all of it and also their soul.

How to Benefit from Fasting?

If you see a poor man have mercy on him. If you see a beautiful woman, do not taint your heart with this thought. Not only your mouth should be fasting but also your eyes and ears, feet, hands and all the limbs of your body

Fasting Is the Crown of Those Who Refrain Themselves

Fasting protects all virtues. It is the beginning of spiritual struggle, the crown of those who refrain themselves, the beauty of virginity and purity, the brilliance of wisdom, the beginning of the Christian life, the mother of prayer, the spring of abstinence and thrift. It teaches us about serenity and precedes all good deeds

Mind How You Behave with One’s Heart

Love the sinners, but hate their sin, lest you fall into temptation as they did. Remember that you are also an earthling and do well to everyone.

The two types of saving love

When a man doesn’t have longsuffering, kindness, this indicates that it does not have love inside him. Again, when he is not able to bear for long, has no kindness or generosity in all aspects he is loveless and godless.

God wants us to talk to Him as much as possible

We as Christians should always pray to God, anytime, anywhere. And even if our wishes are fulfilled or not, we should still thank Him. Sometimes He listens, sometimes He doesn’t, because He knows even before we ask, what is good or bad for us.

The fulfilment of all wishes

Has something happened as you wanted, be grateful; if not, don’t be sad for nothing is eternal here and all things are temporal in this world. One care alone you are to have, don’t be a stranger to God and to His most holy grace.

God’s grace and not our virtues will save us

You’d better search our Lord’s mercy and not reward for our struggle. Thus, you will get to salvation faster than the unwise strugglers.
