Additional quotes by Ignatius Bryanchaninov

Do not content yourself with unproductive reading of the Gospels; strive to fulfill its commandments, read it with deeds. This is the book of life, and one must read it with one's life.

The Lord came to the earth to save sinners, and so he expects an inevitable admission of sinfulness from every person; judging one's neighbor is a rejection of this acknowledgement.

Our heart distracts us when it inclines to the fulfillment of its own fallen desires, when it leaves the path of God's will.
