Quote

”Don’t be afraid of them [the demons]. You don’t see how many of them fall and turn their backs with every prayer you say. You only see how much you are wounded. But they are also thrashed; they also suffer.

Every time we are patient, they flee with leaps and bounds, and every time we say the prayer (the Jesus prayer), they are seriously injured. So at the time of battle, when you are firing shots and bullets, don’t expect them to throw marshmallows and chocolates.”

-Saint Joseph the Hesychast
