If we want to overcome the passions…

At every hour we must weigh our daily affairs attentively, and as much as we are able, without fail lighten their burden through repentance, if we want to overcome the passions with the help of Jesus. It is also necessary to examine whether we carry out all our outward actions through God’s will, before God and for God Alone, so that the feelings (passionate) do not deceive us like foolish people.
- Saint Hesychius
