The Groom I Received as a Gift of Prayer and Divine Intercession

And I remembered about the St. Porphyry Kavsokalivit who used to meet in prayer with his disciples.

How can we stay in God?

To be, with capital letters refers this time to be in God! To be willing to erect as an endless column towards God’s heart!

Who Has a Clean Conscience?

The person who has a clean conscience will pass in peace the verge of eternity – bodily death. This person will be able to say, as the Rightful Simeon did “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word” (Luke 2:29).

I Am Afraid to Meet Other People

We are scared to meet ourselves, God and other people, we fear to meet others because meeting someone means meeting once and for all. Meeting people puts pressure and responsibilities under our shoulders.

Love – the only power that can scatter man’s loneliness

Without a living love, people are as the dead dust ... But true friendship shatters this solitude, overcomes it and frees the man in order to reach the constructive and living love. True friendship ... only people knew to cherish and strengthen it ... There is only one power able to overcome loneliness; and this power is love.’

You don’t get to heaven on your own but living in communion

Loneliness isolates you, makes you helpless, and prevents your spirit to enjoy the good things of this world, especially those of the spiritual world, while life in community saves you from many difficult situations. Nobody achieves salvation on their own, not even the monks, or priests or good Christians. All of us achieve salvation in community, in the bosom of Christ’s Church and we all are responsible of the others.
