- Calling so love (+h korufa)ia _ag)aph) Hierarch Theoleptos assumes the deep and inseparable connection of all virtues. Cf. Reverend Symeon, the New Theologian, for whom “there is an interaction between all virtues, and faith and humility serve as the basis
- Cf. “Active Chapters” of St. Theodore of Edessa: “We are commanded to stay awake in psalm singing prayers, and readings always, but more so on the Feast days. A wakeful monk refines his mind for soul-searching contemplations, and long-sleeping obdurates the mind. But try and do not go into vain memories and sinful thoughts during vigil: for it is better to sleep than to stay awake for such vanities and desecrating of yourself by improper occupations.”
- Euthymios Zigabenos
- Hierarch Basil the Great Archbishop of Caesarea of Cappadocia
- See Eph 4:13. Blessed Theophylact of Ohrid sees in this “full age of Christ” (literally “in the fullness of Christ”) the perfect “knowledge of dogmas.”
- These “constraints” (yl)ijeiq) or “killing” of their sinful “ego” for God’s sake in patristic asceticism have always been a necessary condition for spiritual prosperity. In the work “On Virginity ” attributed to Hierarch Athanasius the Great, it is said, for example, that “the Kingdom of Heaven belongs not to those who find the [bodily] rest here, but to those who have lived this life in great tribulation and constrained in many ways.”
