If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
St Augustine
The Final Say
11 July 2026
What I see around me would drive me insane, if I did not know that no matter what happens, God has the last word.
Saint Paisios the Athonite
On Prayer
17 June2026
Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.
Saint John Chrysostom
The Body of Christ
7 June2026
If you want to help the Church, it is better to try to correct yourself, rather than be looking to correct others. If you manage to correct yourself, one small part of the Church is immediately corrected. Naturally, if everyone did the same, the body of the Church would be in good health.”
Elder Paisios of Mount Athos
Death
1 June2026
Death is not scary for those who wait on the Lord. Scary is the one who lives as if there is no eternity.
St. Theophan the Recluse
Anima Christi
22 May 2026
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

Love forgives many mistakes, while hatred imagines mistakes even where they do not exist.
St. John Chrysostom
