                                              Brethren, if you will constantly compel yourselves to read the patristic books, and by being instructed by what is in them you will always correct yourselves and enkindle yourselves, in accordance with him who said: My heart grew hot within me, and in my meditation a fire shall flame out (Ps. 38:4), and will force yourselves to pray fervently every day with tears before God and fulfill His holy commandments—then warm fervor and zeal will be given you by Christ God.

                                              —St. Paisius Velichkovsky, quoted in The Orthodox Word #53, p. 232
