The Heart
"The heart itself is but a small vessel, yet dragons are there, and there are also lions; there are poisonous beasts and all the treasures of evil. There also are rough and uneven roads; there are precipices. But there too is God, the angels, the life and the Kingdom, the light and the apostles, the heavenly cities and the treasures of grace—all things are there." — St. Macarius

This is one of my favorite quotes from Macarius. It captures the emphasis that the Fathers put on "finding your heart" and that spiritual life is first and foremost a battle for the heart.
