Losing your faith is the beginning and the root of every fall or failure

“Losing your faith is the beginning and the root of every fall or failure.”

Elder Joseph of Vatopedi Monastery

“Not even God enters into the sanctuary of our soul with violence. He is asking for our permission.”

Saint Theophanes the Confessor

“When we do not have Christ in us, we abstain from food. When we have Christ in us, when we have our Lord’s Body and Blood, this ascetic spirit disappears, as we no longer need it, since one aim is achieved: We received the Holy Communion!”

Father Pavlos Papadopoulos

“Many churchgoers receive the Holy Communion because they abstained consistently from the food. They are satisfied with this work, because the saint and values live within them.”

Father Pavlos Papadopoulos

“Everyone pays attention on what they will eat and what and when they will drink and to what time they leave the main cultivation of the spiritual preparation that is specified in the invitation: “With fear of God, faith and love come to receive the Holy Communion.”

Father Pavlos Papadopoulos

“Both the Church and the State in the present day are slumbering. If they do not wake up and lead the clerics and the lay people to repentance, in accordance with God’s commandments, they will be called to account in the Last Judgement Day and will be punished.”

Elder Philotheos Zervakos

“It is selfish to want others to talk to us kindly.”

Saint Porphyrios
