1. To
know God is to know absolute and unconditional love.
2. Prayer
is the most important aspect of life for an Orthodox Christian. All other
things are minor and are of lesser
importance, and are absolutely worthless when compared to the hard work of prayer.
3. Christ
stands at the door steps of our hearts and He is knocking quietly and waiting
for you to open up the door and let Him in. As soon as you open the door, He
will enter and will dine with you.
4. God
gave a conscience to everyone, but it depends on the person whether he wants to
hear and follow the voice of his conscience or not.
5. God is
close when we have constant communion with Him through unceasing prayer and
acts of love.
6. For
everyone who does good works and mercy God will give glory, honor and peace in
this life, first for the chosen people, that is, who know the law of God and
keeps the faith
7. The
highest form of prayer is prayer without words, the cry of the soul to God that
opens the heavens and gives us a live interaction with God.
8. Make
it a rule to never remember your good deeds, instead forget them completely.
Always remember only your sins and your evil deeds. Then you will be humble and
find yourself more sinful than others, since humility is the first core virtue
of a true Christian.
9.
Almsgiving has a great, infinite power.
10. The
purpose of life is to cultivate love, seek righteousness, and you can only
succeed in it by working tirelessly to purify your heart.
11. A
prayer that does not do visible, mind-blowing wonders works miracles inside the
human hearts.
12. Our
acts of almsgiving generate gratitude in people who are far from God.
13. Only
the unceasing prayer melts the cold hearts like the falling rain drops.
14. We
must be humble in order to do something truly good.
15. It is
imperative to thank God when we are weak, when we are insulted, facing
hardships, persecutions, and only then do we become truly strong.
