Syncletica of Alexandria quotes
-
“It is written, 'Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves' (Mt. 10:16). Being like serpents means not ignoring the attacks and wiles of the devil. Like is quickly shown to like. The simplicity of the dove denotes purity of action.”
-- Syncletica of Alexandria -
“In the same way that a powerful medicine cures an illness, so illness itself is a medicine to cure passion. And there is much profit of soul in bearing illness quietly and giving thanks to God.”
-- Syncletica of Alexandria -
“Do good when you remember, and what you forget will be revealed to you; and do not surrender your mind to blind forgetfulness.”
-- Syncletica of Alexandria -
