Fathers Sayings

 Do not rush one prayer after another 

but say them with orderly deliberation, 

as one addressing a great person for a favor. 

Do not just pay attention to the words, 

but rather let the mind be in the heart, 

standing before the Lord in full awareness 

of His presence, in full consciousness 

of His greatness and grace and justice.

St. Theophan the Recluse
