More quotes by John of Kronstadt

Conscience in people is nothing other than the voice of the omnipresent God walking in the hearts of men.

The life of the heart is love; its death is malice and enmity against a brother.

The lusts and desires of the flesh, or the old man, are countless, but they are a dream, a vanity, a phantom, nothing.

Caprice is the germ of heart decay, the rust of the heart, the moth of love, the seed of malice, an abomination to the Lord.

The Liturgy is a supper, a meal of God's love for the human race.
