Why are Some Good Deeds Useless?

When people restrain themselves from food but are gossiping and envy someone, it is considered a sin. What is the use of the bodily fasting if we ignore the spiritual fasting? What is the use of helping others if we amass fortune by stealing? What is the use of good deeds if we are proud? We are mixing good deeds with vainglory. The devil wins again. Even if we make good deeds, it is useless, because we are mixing them with evil.

When Hard Times Come, Solutions Come – If You Ask For Them!

Those who persist in prayer are burdened by temptations, but God, together with His angels watch upon them and strengthen them.

People That Never Die

I find the expression “dead man” unsuitable.

Prayer – an accessible treatment

Do you see how great the power of prayer is? Where power, fortune, bravery and the knowledge of skilled doctors were of no use, the prayer of a poor Christian many times helped.

Mind How You Behave with One’s Heart

Love the sinners, but hate their sin, lest you fall into temptation as they did. Remember that you are also an earthling and do well to everyone.

Let us run from everything that troubles our mind

Causes of sin are: wine, women, wealth and the health of the body. Not that they are sins by nature, but they make that the nature easily incline towards sinful passions.

Love is present in the smallest things

Love is present in all the bodily gestures, when, serving God the body is filled with spiritual fruits, when man raises his hands towards God for charity and partaking, when he directs his steps toward the house of mourning and weeping climbing towards the house of prayer.

Make your heart a house of God

He wants to make your house and heart ‘a house of God’ filled with grace and power, light, peace, joy, and true happiness. Oh brother, open the door for Him, open it at once, give him all the keys from the chambers of your life, that you may start a new life in Him. Welcome the Lord at once and you will be wondered what a grace and a blessing stepped in your life and home.
