SO GOOD QUOTES

Abouna Matta had written the two brief pages of the Epilogue to Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way on October 28, 1995. The coherent Coptic epilogist refers to Prayer: Access into the Father’s Presence, and tells of the Holy Spirit speaking within Christians and through them. The Holy Spirit “speaks words known well to those who have experienced him, hot and flaming words that set the whole body on fire. They make man forget his disability and insignificance, nearly lifting him off the ground. For the burden that weighed him down with sins and bound him to this earth disappears.
