If it’s useful for your salvation, God will allow for your marriage as well!

If this proposal to marriage will be useful for you, God will send His help and blessing, and if it isn’t then through His judgement he will undo this plan. Being at God’s mercy, at not seeking to fulfil your will is going to save you from many problems.

The most important tears are those on our cheeks

In our everyday life we shed tears when we miss our mother, father, children, and wife and so on. But out of all tears, the most important ones are the tears shed when the man meets God and the tears of sunning passions.

Pray together for a tight knit family!

When your children will say “Holy God” they will hear the chants of the angels, who were once seen by a child in Constantinople in the time of the patriarch Proclus. When they will read “It is truly right to bless you, o, Theotokos”, they will find themselves in a poor cell on Mount Athos, where the prayer was first said by the Angel Gabriel; and when they will read the Evening Prayers, children will remember about the great John Chrysostom. 

Through prayer we ask for God’s advice

Prayer makes people brothers with the angels. Prayer, made in Spirit and truth, has the power of raising Christians who do it, to their highest rank, wisdom, honour and level of life.

Mothers, teach your children pray!

As “mother” and “father” are the first words in children’s vocabulary, in a similar way his first conversations with God should start with “Theotokos” and “our Father”.

Hour of spiritual questions - confronting the Holy Cross

Each time you see the sign of the Holy Cross you should wonder: “Did I do my prayer in the morning?” “Or I didn’t?” When you see the sign of the Holy Cross, wonder: “Have I been to church last Sunday? Or I haven’t?” When it’s Wednesday and you see the sign of the Holy Cross, ask yourself: “Have I fasten today or I haven’t?”

Christ – tenant of your heart

Our salvation starts when we are opening the Lord the door of our heart and ends when He becomes the Lord of our life- when every second is dedicated to Him.

First comes God and the man after!

You can know that you love God from the joy of serving to Him, the joy of following his commandments. You don’t resist to them and you take God into account!

Prepare your soul for eternity, don’t leave it for tomorrow

Sit and wonder whether you loved justice and hated transgression as something ugly, pointless, that keeps you away from God and leads you into perdition.
