When you’re in pain, son, gather all your spiritual powers and try to understand the purpose of the pain, because through it God’s opening the heavens to you.

Christ was transfigured on Mount Tabor. According to the holy Fathers, He thus made it clear to us that if we want to experience the mysteries of divine Grace, we have to abandon the cares of the world. Our mind must separate itself from the things of this world, leave them behind and concentrate on the things above. The Lord shows us that we can become by Grace what He is by nature.

Gossip is condemnation, it’s slander. Gossips are people who condemn and slander their neighbours and take away their honour in the same way as a murderer takes away their life. Both of them are guilty of manslaughter.

Say the prayer internally, with the mind, not with the lips, so that there’s no distraction, with your mind going all over the place. We should place Christ gently in our mind, saying ‘Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me’, very gently. Nothing else. Nothing. Don’t think of anything except the words: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me’.

Unawareness of lack of the virtues is a downward slide into impiety. Because those who are accustomed to the pleasures of the flesh and disobedience to God will end up denying Him when the opportunity arises and will prefer the life of the flesh to Him. They’ll believe that the pleasures are more important than God.

The Grace which comes from repentance snatches up the soul and wings it towards God, Whose light attracts it. At the beginning, He isn’t so apparent, but His warmth, which is love, starts to soften the heart.

Ιn the place of Christ, the loving and sacrificed God, we set the bellowing monster of our narcissistic fabrications concerning power and domination.

Spiritual people know everything, because their mind is that of Christ. They know that what’s here is ephemeral and what’s there is permanent and immortal. They know that they themselves will be saved in the future and that, by the same token, unbelievers will not.

Nothing’s difficult when we want to do it and nothing’s easy when we don’t. We should show our faith in Christ not only in words, but also in deeds, so that we don’t bring shame on our dogma through evil deeds. Everything we do should contribute to our praise for God.

Give your heart to the Lord and He’ll supply all the vitamins and energy it needs to stop it collapsing.
