The Husband and wife should be similar to the hand and the eye. When the hand hurts, the eyes should be crying. And when the eyes cry, the hand should wipe away the tears.
John Chrysostom
On Repentance
12 February 2026
There is no sin that God cannot forgive, big or small. God does not measure a man by the magnitude of his sins but by the intensity of his repentance.
Archmandrite Sebastianos Topalis
Hope of Salvation
10 February 2026
Never lose hope of salvation. Constantly cry out to God and weep. God never overlooks a soul that wants to be saved and repents, no matter how much it may be wounded in the fight.
Elder Ephraim of Arizona
The Creator of Matter
8 February 2026
The whole earth is a living icon of the face of God. ... I do not worship matter. I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake, who willed to take His abode in matter, who worked out my salvation through matter. Never will I cease honoring the matter which wrought my salvation! I honor it, but not as God. Because of this I salute all remaining matter with reverence, because God has filled it with his grace and power. Through it my salvation has come to me.
John of Damascus
Prayer
2 February 2026
Whether you are in church, or in your house, or in the country; whether you are guarding sheep, or constructing buildings..., do not stop praying. When you are able, bend your knees, when you cannot, make intercession in your mind, 'at evening and at morning and at midday’. If prayer precedes your work and if, when you rise from your bed, your first movements are accompanied by prayer, sin can find no entrance to attack your soul.
St Ephraim the Syrian
