January 28th, St. Isaac of Nineveh

BE AT PEACE WITH YOUR OWN SOUL

Be at peace with your own soul


then heaven & earth will be at peace with you.



Enter eagerly into the treasure


house that is within you,



And you will see the things that are in heaven,


for there is but one single entry to them both.



The ladder that leads to the Kingdom


is hidden within your soul...



Dive into yourself and in your soul


and you will discover the stairs


by which to ascend.

Saint Isaac of Syria, Bishop of Nineveh (ca. 660-680)
