Reading And Doing


Τῆς Γραφῆς τὰ ῥήματα διὰ πράξεων ἀναγίνωσκε· καὶ μὴ πλατυλόγει ἐπὶ ψιλοῖς τοῖς νοήμασι εἰκῆ φυσιούμενος.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ

Source: Migne PG 65.916c
The words of Scripture are read through deeds, lest we babble mindlessly, seeming to be constituted of empty thoughts.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law.
