Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

When I’m fed up living with all kinds of fears and I choose to be fearful of only God, I realize that the closer I get to Him, the more I find there’s nothing to be afraid of. Only when I’m far from God do I feel terror; the better I know Him, and His ways with man, the more I realize that my fears have no rational basis.

The Might of the People Who Fear God

Those who fear God are as a giant among dwarfs or as a lion roaring among dogs and foxes, entrusting their faith in the Lord.

Put Your Trust into God and Tread upon Fear

Bear in mind that our Lord’s providence is upon us. God said “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

We Love Each Other Because Together We Bloom

Do not be scared! True love has nothing to do with this. We are not loved for our qualities and hated for our flaws but for how we “manage” them. Our talents are our qualities and flaws.

How should you act with those who lie but accuse you of not trusting them?

Accept what they say without believing them, without judging them, without saying anything. Just pray “Lord have mercy, make her (him) understand that what he says is not true”. But do this without telling them anything and in a week things will be different.

With Christ, we are not afraid of the evil!

Why are you afraid of? Will it be more frightening than the devil? He is a man. Saint Marina defeated the devil and Saint Justina banished so many. As a matter of fact, we did not come to have fun in this world.

When a child learns how to pray, he learns what joy is

From the rhythm of our breathing we can guess the healthiness of our body. How big is the parents’ fear when their child is hardly breathing and in danger of suffocating. But we should fear more the lack of spiritual breathing, which is prayer.

Never give up; fight!

Even if you are in Bucharest, or in a remote village, Christ is the same everywhere. God knows beforehand what you need, but he wants you to fight. Don’t give up, don’t leave your life for the upcoming challenges!
