Holy Saturday

"Great is the power of a little discipline, if it is combined with constancy. The soft drop on account of its constancy makes a hole even in hard rocks. When the spiritual man is near to being quickened in you, death to all things will come to you, and your soul will become hot with gladness which has no equal among created beings, and your deliberations will be concentrated within you, on account of the sweetness in your heart. But when the world is quickened in you, distraction of mind will increase in you, and lack of courage without constancy" (from The Mystical Treatises of Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 46, 331-332).
