"Completely have trust in God, leave everything in His hands, and believe that His love will act for your own benefit. Then God will take care of everything, because there is nothing He cannot do; everything is easy for Him. The difficult thing is for man to decide to humble himself and leave everything to God’s providence and love." – Saint Paisios of Mount Athos ❤❤❤ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #loveorthodoxy #liveorthodoxy #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #stpaisios #stpaisiostheathonite #trustingod #pray #humility #graceofgod #God #Christ #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualstruggle #spiritualinspiration #faith #hope #love #peace #godsgrace #throughthegraceofgod
“When people fall ill, they go to the doctor to have tests done, to diagnose their illness and to be given the appropriate medication so that they’ll recover. But the greatest sickness is sin. And the remedy is confession and repentance. We have to attend church and live within the grace of God.” – Elder Ephraim Vatopaidinos ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #liveorthodoxy #loveorthodoxy #elderephraim #elderephraimvatopaidinos #repentance #confession #spiritualsickness #graceofgod #prayer #pray #humility #God #Christ #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualinspiration #spiritualstrength #faith #peace #hope #throughthegraceofgod
“The truly intelligent man pursues one sole objective: to obey and conform to the God of all. With this single aim in view, he disciplines his soul, and whatever he may encounter in the course of his life, he gives thanks to God for the compass and depth of His providential ordering of all things.
For it is absurd to be grateful to doctors who give us bitter and unpleasant medicines to cure our bodies, and yet to be ungrateful to God for what appears to us to be harsh, not grasping that all we encounter is for our benefit and in accordance with His providence. For knowledge of God and faith in Him is the salvation and perfection of the soul.” – St. Anthony the Great ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #liveorthodoxy #loveorthodoxy #stanthonythegreat #godsprovidence #prayer #pray #graceofgod #God #Christ #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualinspiration #spiritualstrength #faith #hope #peace #godsgrace #throughthegraceofgod
"Do you ask for help from Jesus Christ or are you struggling alone? Have you told Christ of your weakness? You don’t humble yourself, you don’t ask Christ for help and then you say, 'I have difficulties in my struggle.' When one is humble and asks for help from Christ, He helps. Often man makes an egotistical effort and this is why he gets no help." - St. Paisios ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #loveorthodoxy #liveorthodoxy #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #stpaisios #stpaisiostheathonite #prayer #pray #humility #graceofgod #God #Christ #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualstruggle #spiritualinspiration #faith #hope #love #peace #godsgrace #throughthegraceofgod
“The power of God is effective when a person asks for the help from God, acknowledging his own weakness and sinfulness. This is why humility and striving towards God are the fundamental virtues of a Christian” – St. John Maximovitch ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #stjohnmaximovitch #powerofgod #humility #strivingtowardsgod #loveorthodoxy #liveorthodoxy #christ #prayer #pray #graceofgod #God #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualinspiration #spiritualstrength #faith #love #hope #peace #godsgrace #throughthegraceofgod
“In order for one to realize his weak nature, he must encounter many great temptations. And then, through many trials he is humbled and learns true humility. But it takes time.
Humility does not consist of simple words such as “I am a sinner…” and so on. Humility is the truth. To learn that you are nothing. Nothing is what existed before God created everything: nothing. So this nothing is what we are. Your root, your existence began with nothing, and your mother is clay, but your Creator is God. “What hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou hast received it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?”
It is a great gift of God for one to learn the truth. And the Lord said that this truth frees us from sin.”

“We celebrate the death of death, the destruction of hell, the beginning of eternal life. And leaping for joy, we celebrate the cause, the only blessed and most glorious God of our fathers” (Ode 7 of the Paschal Canon). “…Can I give you some advice? In your every sorrow, in your every failure, concentrate for a moment within yourself and say this hymn slowly-slowly. You will see that the greatest thing in your life – and in the life of the whole world – happened. The Resurrection of Christ, our salvation. And you will realise that everything that is upside down which is occurring will seem to you very small to spoil your mood.” – Saint Porphyrios ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #liveorthodoxy #loveorthodoxy #stporphyrios #resurrection #christslove #love #prayer #godsgrace #pray #humble #humility #God #Christ #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualinspiration #spiritualstrength #faith #peace #hope #graceofgod #throughthegraceofgod
"The husband and wife should be similar to the hand and the eye. When the hand hurts, the eyes should be crying.
