'It is an extreme punishment that obliges us to remain so long on earth, unless love causes us to live more in Heaven and with God than on earth and with ourselves; just as the rays of the sun continue to shed their light a great way off as long as they are not separated from their focus.'

'Unless various successive spiritual contemplations also occupy the intellect, the practice of virtues by itself cannot free it so entirely from passions that it is able to pray undistractedly. Practice of the virtues frees the intellect only from dissipation and hatred; spiritual contemplation releases it also from forgetfulness and ignorance. In this way the intellect can pray as it should.'
St. Maximos the Confessor
'Forgetfulness' 'Ignorance' 'Dissipation' 'Hatred'...
Four enemies.. And solutions!

St. Benedict Joseph Labre (C): To love God as we ought we require three hearts: in one a heart of fire for God a heart of flesh for our neighbour and a heart of iron towards ourselves.
