St Paul was the noblest of men and the most outstanding example of the nobility of human nature and of its possibilities for virtue. By speaking up for the Master and exhorting us to virtue, he completely refutes those who find fault with human nature, seals the lips of those who made slanderous charges, and shows that little divides angels from men if they are willing to perfect themselves.

+ St. John Chrysostom, In Praise of St Paul, Sermon 2

☦️

The fruits of the earth are not brought to perfection immediately, but by time, rain and care; similarly, the fruits of men ripen through ascetic practice, study, time, perseverance, self-control and patience.

+ St. Anthony the Great

☦️

For it is in your eager striving for perfection that you first perceive your own imperfection. And only when you have seen your imperfection, can you be perfected. Thus perfection proceeds out of weakness.

- Tito Colliander
