"The heart is but a small vessel; and yet dragons and lions are
there, and there likewise are poisonous creatures and all the treasures
of wickedness; rough, uneven paths are there, and gaping chasms. There
also is God, there are the angels, there life and the Kingdom, there
light and the apostles, the heavenly cities and the treasures of grace:
all things are there."
-St. Macarius the Great (d. 392), Homily 43:7
