Prayer is an even more powerful medicine for the healing of our soul. In prayer we turn to the Healer of our souls and ask that His healing be complete and final, because "He alone is able to heal, he who fashioned our hearts alone; and who understands all our works.” Prayer wipes away our sins and heals our wounds: "Pray at every hour, and neither lose heart when you are praying, nor ask for God's compassion lightly, and He will not turn away from you when you persist, but He will forgive you your sins and grant you your requests. (John Chrysostom)

As the sun is light to the body, so prayer is light to the soul. If it is a great deprivation for a blind man not to see the sun, how great a deprivation is it for a Christian not to pray often, that by prayer he may bring the light of Christ into his soul? View quote

Don't talk to me of female beauty, rather virtues of her soul. A beautiful woman who has not decorated herself with virtue is like a painted coffin. View quote
John Chrysostom
Before leaving the door of your house, make the sign of the cross and say: "I renounce you, Satan, your works and your service, and I am in Christ." Never leave your house without these words. These will be for you a rod, a weapon, an irresistible tower. Not only will people not be able to harm you, but not even the devil. View quote
