[Νίκος]

If you want to go straight to Christ, you have to walk between two walls. These walls aren’t made of stone, bricks or mud, but are both spiritual. On the right, there’s the fear of God and, on the left, there’s the fear of death. These two walls deliver us from all sin.

Elder Cleopa Ilie

[Νίκος]

We should feel that Christ’s our friend. He Himself confirms this when He says: ‘You’re my friends…’ (Jn. 15, 14). We should look on Him and approach Him as a friend.

Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

[Νίκος]

We shouldn’t be like flies, but like bees, flitting from flower to flower, collecting honey. We, too, should collect honey, paying attention only to what’s good in other people.

Saint Luke the Doctor

All the trials which the love of God sends us are so that we can acquire patience and become like Him, Who is called ‘the God of patience and comfort’.

[Νίκος]

The heart is the eye of human existence. The clearer it is, the quicker, farther and more clearly it sees. In the saints of God, however, even in this life, the eye is calibrated to the highest degree of clarity, which is why they see clearly, far and wide.

Saint John of Kronstadt

[Νίκος]

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.

Saint Gregory the Theologian
