"When the heart feels the arrows of the demons with such burning paint
hat the man under attack suffers as if they were real arrows, then the
soul hates the passions violently, for it is just beginning to be
purified. If it does not suffer greatly at the shamelessness of sin, it
will not be able to rejoice fully in the blessings of righteousness."
St. Diadochos of Photiki.
"For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace." Romans 8:6
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
