Excerpts from the Preface of the Prayer Book:
"In the spirit of revelation these small things have been laid down
to be accomplished in our cells for the preservation of our life by
wise men who uphold the institutes of the Church, but the unwise
consider their omission as of no consequence." -- Saint Isaac,
Homily 32
"In that day God will not judge us about psalmody, nor for the
neglect of prayer, but because by abandoning them we have opened our
door to the demons." -- Saint Isaac, Homily 32
"Just as thieves will not attack a place where they see royal
weapons stacked, so he who has united his heart to prayer will not
lightly be raided by spiritual thieves." -- Saint John of the
Ladder, Step 26:33
