Quotes

A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

Paschal joy is a foretaste of eternal joy in the approaching kingdom of Christ.

Knowing the exact nature of everything, God permits each person to be tested according to his strength. As St. Paul puts it: 'God is to be trusted not to let you be tried beyond your strength, but with the trial He will provide a way out, so that you are able to bear it' (1 Cor. 10:13).

When tested by some trial you should try to find out not why or through whom it came, but only how to endure it gratefully, without distress or rancor.

Great Lent - all of its services are united by the idea of preparing for Holy Pascha, to meet the Risen Christ with a clean heart.

Let us through almsgiving become owners of our own souls.

Grace always precedes temptation, as if to notify you saying, 'Prepare yourself and lock your doors.'

Just as a moth devours clothing and a worm devours wood, so dejection devours a man’s soul.

As work according to God is called virtue, so unexpected affliction is called a test.

Through the cheap price of doing good to men, we can acquire the priceless Kingdom of God.

No one can say, 'I am poor and hence I have no means of giving alms.' For even if you cannot give as the rich gave their gifts into the temple treasury, give two farthings as the poor widow did, and from you God will consider it greater gift than the gifts of the rich. And if you do not have as much as two farthings? You can take pity on the sick and give alms by ministering to them. And if you cannot do even this? You can comfort your brother by your words. 'A good word is better than the best of gifts.'
