Give us help from affliction, For the salvation of man is useless. But in God we shall work power, And He will utterly scorn those who afflict us. - Psalm 59:13,14 #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

At the door of Your compassion do I knock, Lord; send aid to my scattered impulses which are intoxicated with the multitude of the passions and the power of darkness. You can see my sores hidden within me: stir up contrition—though not corresponding to the weight of my sins, for if I receive full awareness of the extent of my sins, Lord, my soul would be consumed by the bitter pain from them. Assist my feeble stirrings on the path to true repentance, and may I find alleviation from the vehemence of sins through the contrition that comes of Your gift, for without the power of Your grace I am quite unable to enter within myself, become aware of my stains, and so, at the sight of them be able to be still from great distraction. - Prayer of Repentance by St. Isaac the Syrian #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

“There is love in the Resurrection, not just expressed in terms of the love of God for us. The love we find in the Resurrection also overflows from us to others. 1 John 3:14 says: “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” We must understand and know that we participate in the Resurrection life of Christ because it spills over into our relationships with one another; even with those who are difficult to love. Jesus Himself said/prayed that the world would know we were His disciples by the depth of our love for one another.” - Archbishop Joseph of Canada and Edmonton #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

"Christ’s commands aren’t simply rules, they’re indications into the Kingdom of Heaven, revealing to us a life of least-resistance, for grace – like water – seeks the low places, the most humble, the easiest route, and even penetrates the hardest surfaces. Good-heartedness and simplicity, attract the grace of God; they are the pre-conditions for God to come and make His abode in us." - St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

“The person who loves God values knowledge of God more than anything created by God, and pursues such knowledge ardently and ceaselessly.“ - St. Maximus the Confessor Orthodox Church in Kutaisi, Georgia #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

We who are confirmed in faith and illumined through you, Lady, sing to you. Rejoice! O unsetting star: you brought the great Sun into the world. Rejoice! O Pure One, you reopened Eden that was closed of old. Fiery pillar, ushering humanity out of bondage to heavenly life, rejoice! - Troparion, Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

“Silence is the prerequisite for inner stillness, and only inner stillness enables us truly to listen to God, to hear His voice, and to commune with Him in the depths of our being. Yet silence and stillness are, like prayer itself, gifts that God can and wants to bestow upon us. The greatest truth about us is that God has created us with a profound longing, a burning thirst for communion with Himself. We can easily pervert that longing into an idolatrous quest for something other than God. Yet God remains faithful even in our times of apostasy. Like the father of the Prodigal Son, he always awaits our return. Once we begin that journey homeward, through repentance and an ongoing struggle against our most destructive passions, God reaches out to embrace, to forgive and to heal all that is broken, wounded and wasted. He reaches into the very fabric of our life, to restore within us the sublime image in which we were made.“ - Very Rev Fr. John Breck #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

“When the light of God’s truth dwells in your heart, only then is it calm, firm, strong, and alive, but when your heart darkens, it becomes uneasy, weak as a reed shaken, and alive by the wind, and lifeless. Do not pay attention to this darkness of Satan. Drive it away from your heart by making the sign of the life-giving Cross!” - St. John of Kronstadt #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation

Today the Orthodox Church celebrates the feast day of the righteous St. Mary of Egypt “Blessed Mary of Egypt was twelve years old when she fell into the hands of the devil. She lived in sin day and night. But the merciful God enlightened her and she abandoned the world and went into the desert. There she led a hermit’s life for forty years. She was cleansed and became like an angel. God wished to give her rest, so He sent the holy ascetic Zosimas to hear her confession and to give her holy communion. Then He received her holy soul into paradise, where she rejoices with the angels. If there is anyone here like Blessed Mary, let him immediately weep and repent, now that he has time, and let him be assured that he will be saved as was Blessed Mary.” - St. Kosmos Aitolos Apolytikion, Plagal Fourth Mode: The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Mother. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Mary, your soul rejoices with the angels. Kontakion, Second Mode: By the toils of thy struggles, O God-inspired one, thou didst hallow the harshness of the desert. Wherefore, we glorify thy memory, as we honour thee with hymns, O Mary, glory of the righteous. #TheOrthodoxWay #OrthodoxChristian #EasternOrthodox #Christian #TheChurch #OrthodoxMoment #SpiritualLife #Christ #Lord #Mercy #Love #Prayer #Philotimo #Saints #Salvation
