People should train themselves to recognize immediately, through the feeling in their heart, whether good or evil is coming towards them, in the same way as we identify savory and unsalted things, or sweet and bitter with the tongue. “Saint Nicholas Velimirovich”

Love of pleasure opens the door of our soul to the enemy. If you fight this with firm resolve, then it will be very difficult for any passion to overcome you. “Saint Theophan the Recluse”

Give something to God as a “thank you” present, for the fact that you’re one of those who can give charity rather than someone who has to live off it. For the fact that you don’t expect help from the hands of others, but that others hope for it from yours. Bestow not only possessions on people, but also respect, not only gold, but also virtue, or even better, only virtue. “Saint Gregory the Theologian”

Just looking at something isn’t in itself a sin. What is a sin is looking at things with envy, pride and greed. “Saint Anthony the Great”

When you see somebody becoming rich through wrong-doing and then living prosperously, sigh and weep for them. Because this wealth adds to their punishment. What they’ve saved is lost and what they’ve wasted remains. Nobody can snatch it from the hand of God. “Saint John Chrysostom”

The indolent, the idle and the lazy are not all right with God. Laziness isn’t a good thing at all. Indolence is a sickness, it’s a sin. God doesn’t want us to be indolent. Great effort, movement, labour and action are a virtue. “Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia”

You can hide yourself more easily from the wind than from the sight of God. All the secrets of humanity – the good and the bad – are revealed before God. He uncovers numberless such mysteries, in accordance with His providence, all over the world. People who are able to understand this truth, guard the depths of their hearts from bad thoughts and, in particular, bad actions “Saint Nicholas Velimirovich”

When those who have sinned and seen all the great evil that they themselves have caused and the consequences thereof, they’re penitent. Penitence is an inclination to return to God, from Whom they have become estranged. In this way they seek communion with God, as well as His mercy. In His love for us, God doesn’t want anyone to be lost, but rather desires that all of us should come to a knowledge of the truth and be saved. He not only accepts the repentance of those who willingly repent, once they’ve become aware of their sins, but also calls […]

Just as we wish for God to love us, to forgive us, to overlook our errors, to watch over us and protect us with His providence, so we should extend the same to other people. Forgiveness doesn’t require effort, it isn’t difficult. What does it need? It needs humility. By forgiving another person we’ll be given forgiveness for our own countless sins and we’ll have every right to say to God: ‘What people did to me, I forgave with all my heart and love, in accordance with Your Gospel, and Your Word. Now I’m asking You to express Your love […]

Don’t foster sorrows in your heart because the joy of the evil one is sorrow and despondency, which beget many things which fill the soul with bitterness. “Saint Joseph the Hesychast”

God doesn’t discriminate. He doesn’t take into consideration what people were – good or bad, virtuous or sinful – before they desired Grace. He simply awaits the expression of this desire from each of us, and as soon as that happens, Grace begins to act. “Saint Theophan the Recluse”
