St. Maximos the Confessor | All things are possible for the person who believes.

‘All things are possible’, says Scripture, ‘for the person who believes’ (Mark 9:23) and does not doubt - that is to say, for the person who is not dominated by his soul’s attachment to the body through the senses, and so does not separate himself from the union with God which faith has brought about in him through the intellect.

Whatever alienates the intellect from the world and the flesh brings it, perfected by its spiritual achievements, close to God. That is what should be understood as implied in the saying, ‘All things are possible for the person who believes.’
