Monday of Lent Week 5

"Among men riches are honored; by God a humble soul... The commandments of God are better than the treasures of the whole earth. He who acquires His laws in his heart, will find the Lord in them. He who meditates upon God in the night, will acquire Him as a housemate. He who is pliable to His will, will find the angels of heaven his teachers" (from The Mystical Treatises of Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 5, 61-62).
