"If you have faith in the Lord you will fear punishment, and this fear will lead you to control the passions. Once you control the passions you will accept affliction patiently, and through such acceptance you will acquire hope in God. Hope in God separates the intellect from every worldly attachment, and when the intellect is detached in this way it will acquire love for God." ☦️St Maximos the Confessor

"Baptism IS a theophany" #Christianity

2 Peter 1:20- knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 1 Timothy 3:15 - if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:15-So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.

Do not trust your mind too much; thinking must be refined by suffering, or it will not stand the test of these cruel times. ☦️Fr. Seraphim Rose

"The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, or to serve as an example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good." -Andrei Tarkovsky

Scripture in the Divine Liturgy☦️

GM ☕ go to divine liturgy 🫂🙏 "The kingdom of heaven is called spiritual contemplation, for this is what it is...It is not found through the activity of thought, but can be tasted by grace. Until a man cleanses himself he is in no state even to hear of the Kingdom..." ☦️ St Isaac the Syrian "The world is perishing from a lack of love. Instead of love, wickedness and hatred reign...Only love is capable of resurrecting it. But where can we find such love if mans natural heart is darkened by passions and full of soulless egoism? Only the Gospel of Christ offers a love powerful enough to rejuvenate our perishing world." ☦️ Archbishop Averky of Syracuse
