And the trespass which came by the tree was undone by the tree of obedience, when, hearkening unto God, the Son of man was nailed to the tree
Irenaeus of Lyon
On Repentance
28 April 2026
Even if we filled an ocean with the tears of our repentance, it would not be enough to thank the Lord, who gives us His body and blood for free to wash us of the filth of our souls, to purify us, to rejuvenate us and resurrect us.
Saint Seraphim of Sarov
Good Deeds
23 April 2026
A man should pray that God grant him the possibility of doing a kind act, or say a kind word. Every good deed comes from God, and without Him, men cannot do them.
St. Gabriel Urgebadze
Follow God
19 April 2026
Everything in this life passes away — only God remains, only He is worth struggling towards. We have a choice: to follow the way of this world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching.
Hieromonk Seraphim Rose
Egotism
7 April 2026
A truly humble person never behaves like a teacher; he will listen, and, whenever his opinion is requested, he responds humbly. In other words, he replies like a student. He who believes that he is capable of correcting others is filled with egotism.
St. Paisios of Mount Athos
The Humble Soul
6 April 2026
The Lord does not show Himself to a proud soul. The proud soul, no matter how many books it reads, will never know God, since by its pride it does not give place for the grace of the Holy Spirit, while God is known only by the humble soul.
St. Silouan the Athonite
Pagan Idols
29 March 2026
Men imitate the gods whom they adore, and to such miserable beings their crimes become their religion.
Cyprian of Carthage
