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.

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

Our Boast

Seek nothing but to fear Him, to love Him, and to walk in all His ways. This is your boast, and this is your God.

Pride

9 March 2026

 

Pride is the extreme poverty of the soul that thinks itself to be rich and mistakes darkness for light.
