Only the foolish think that suffering is evil. A sensible man knows that suffering is not evil but only the manifestation of evil and healing from evil. Only sin in a man is a real evil, and there is no evil outside sin.

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”

The spirit which hasn’t been darkened by sin looks up high into the heavens, it doesn’t look down at the tomb. But the spirit that’s been darkened by sin looks into the grave and doesn’t see the heavens at all. Sin and virtue govern our spiritual vision, depending on the aims of each, and each reveals its own world. “Saint Nicholas Velimirovich”

Punishment and reward. Both of these are in the hands of God. But just as life on earth is no more than a shadow of that in heaven, by the same token, punishment and reward  are merely a shadow of the real punishment and reward of eternity. “Saint Nicholas Velimirovich”

Through prayers and acts of charity for the departed, Christians demonstrate the relationship between this world and the world to come. The Church in this world and the Church in the next is one and the same – one body, one being- just as the roots of a tree, below ground, constitute a single organism with the trunk and the branches above ground. From this it’s obvious that we who make up the earthly Church can be given help by the saints and the righteous in the heavenly Church, in the same way as departed sinners in the next world […]

If a person wants to understand a certain place in nature, he must either trust those who have been in immediate proximity to that place, or he must go there himself. There is not a third option. In the same way a person gets an impression of God: He must either trust those who have stood and stand in immediate proximity to God, or he must…
