On Prayer
In
times of affliction, unceasingly call out to the merciful God in prayer. The
unceasing invocation of the name of God in prayer is a treatment for the soul
which kills not only the passions, but even their very operation. As a doctor
finds the necessary medicine, and it works in such a way that the sick person
does not understand, in just the same way the name of God, when you call upon
it, kills all the passions, although we don't know how this happens.
St.
Barsanuphius the Great
