"So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." #Orthodox #Christian

"Don't worry about anything. Everything will be arranged." - Saint Paisios. #Orthodox #Christian

Sin is the failure to grow. — St. Gregory of Nyssa

When Religion is coopted into the tool of ideology it loses everything that made it vital. — Rev. Steven Clark

We are not merely inhabitants of this world; we are its stewards.

Discover the profound wisdom in "Walk in Beauty," a new speech by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew—"The Green Patriarch."

He reveals that caring for our planet is a sacred duty, a direct imitation of God.

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

To the hungry soul, even bitter things tastes sweet (Proverbs 27:7)

Wisdom is attained by great pain. No one tells you that, when you are young and crazy enough to pray for wisdom. — Rev. Steven Clark

The goal of human freedom is not in freedom itself, nor it is in man, but in God. By giving man freedom, God has yielded to mam a piece of His Divine authority, but with the intention that man himself would voluntarily bring it as a sacrifice to God, a most perfect offering. St. Theophan the Recluse

If thou lovest peace, be peaceful. — St. Isaac the Syrian

The mighty one? the one who puts on vulnerability — Ephraim the Syrian

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.
Psalm 145:17 [NKJV] #Bible #DailyVerse

Do you seek mercy? Be merciful yourself. — St. Ephraim the Syrian

A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without friends. — St.John Chrysostom

A man in this world must solve a problem: to be with Christ, or to be against Him. And every
man decides this, whether he wants to or not. He will either be a lover of Christ or a fighter of
Christ. There is no third option.
Saint Justin Popovich #Orhodox #Christian

Praise the Lord!
 Happy are those who fear the Lord, who greatly delight in his commandments.
‍
‍They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright.
They are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
‍
‍They are not afraid of evil tidings.
‍Their hearts are steady.
They will not be afraid.
 
—Psalm 112

A child cries when his mother washes him, and those of little faith murmur at God when they are in trouble, which cleanses the soul like water cleanses the face.
Saint Symeon of Daibabe #Orthodox #Christian

Without love, faith is empty. With love, it is the faith of a Christian — without love, the faith of a demon. — Ven. Bede

God is not One Who requites evil, but Who sets evil right. — St. Isaac of Syria

In our country, Faith has become a commodity to be traded, bought and sold. In our country, Life is also viewed as a commodity, to be traded as assets or liabilities — thus some life can be sold as a liability against the bottom line (the poor and the unborn). — Rev. Steven Clark

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86‬:‭7‬ ‭[NKJV‬‬] #Bible #DailyVerse

Look at Christ Himself — always follow Him. He is the only source of our salvation. — Archbishop Dmitri of Dallas.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 [NKJV] #Bible #DailyVerse
