“When man sins the grace of God abandons him. When he repents, God
returns and man is cleansed completely; however, there remains a mark.
This mark does not stain, and is as clean as everything else. It is like
a mark on a baking sheet that is so glued on that no instrument can get
it up.”

Our times are very difficult. Christians today must have much
patience, in order to gain a great salary. Many Saints, however, desired
to live in our times in order to have an even greater salary”.

“The evil eye is a zeal mixed with wickedness and envy. Our zeal
must be good, and without wickedness. We can understand this when we see
someone who we are jealous of, i.e., who we admire, and he or she
suffers some evil. If we rejoice, then our zeal has wickedness”.
