Did You Speak Badly About Someone? Bless that Person!
25 Apr 2016
Were you envious? Pray for the good of the person whom you envied. Confess every sin, without hiding anything, to your spiritual father or to a faithful, pious and honest abbot; keep God’s commandments and you shall save your soul.
Taking Care of Children Is the Greatest Prayer
24 Feb 2016
With kind words the abbot said to the father: “I was glad for you last night. You sang all night and prayed. You did well! But you would have had a bigger blessing to sit a half an hour next to your wife and help her feed and put the babies to sleep. Because for you, the ones who are married, the prostrations are your children. When they will grow up you will have time for the rest.
