St. Mark the Ascetic, On Those Who Teach that They are Made Righteous by Works

"Some, when they actively observe the commandments, expect this to outweigh their sins; others, who observe the commandments without this presumption, gain the grace of Him who died on account of our sins. We should consider which of these is right."

From "Unseen Warfare," p.77

"I will tell you plainly: the greatest and most perfect thing a man may desire to attain is to come near to God and dwell in union with Him."
