Submit to the Will of Another “The easiest and shortest path,” says Saint Paisios, “is obedience. It is the key to Paradise. Through obedience, one’s self-will, egoism, and passions are cut away; the grace of God comes, and life becomes a paradise. In obedience, grace guides a person. I have come to understand that obedience is of tremendous help. Even if someone has only a little understanding, if he practices obedience, he becomes wise. Whether a person is intelligent or simple, healthy or spiritually or physically ill, and tormented by thoughts—if he practices obedience, he is set free. Obedience is liberation. If someone is exceptionally clever but does not practice obedience, he will b...

The Treasures and Our Treasure The ever-memorable Fr. Augustinos Kantiotis once gave a sermon entitled “The Treasures and Our Treasure.” There are many things that the world considers treasures, but there must be only one treasure for us—the Christian’s treasure: Christ. He alone is worthy of our investment; to Him we should give everything we have. This is what the Lord calls “the pearl of great price.” The truly wise merchant is the one who sells everything in order to buy that precious pearl. You see, Christ said to us: “If anyone who comes to Me does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be My disciple.” But someone may ask: “Must we all become monks? Must we practice complete povert...

https://youtube.com/shorts/L4U200FaAs8?si=eI4hEfH3OZGBW-pi Have you heard people saying, “Everything in my life is going wrong”? Why is everything going wrong for you, my brother? Take a closer look. Could it be that you have a little pride? He doesn’t see it. People come to me, and I tell them, “You just might have a little pride.” Honestly, I feel sorry for them. I can see that they have an enormous amount of pride, but I lay it to them in a more general way. A person doesn’t recognize this easily. But when he begins to examine himself critically, stops focusing on others, and stops making demands and having expectations of other people, then he begins to see his own shortcomings. He be...

Of What You See, Believe Only Half; Of What You Hear, Believe Nothing Abba Isaiah the Recluse gives the following sound advice: “Do not make a habit of talking about things you have not seen with your own eyes, and do not speak of them as though you have seen them,” for then you are telling lies. If you have not seen something, why do you say, “That’s how it is”? How do you know? Because you heard it? As the popular proverb also says: Of what you see, believe only half; of what you hear, believe nothing. Our people are wise. And even about what you see with your own eyes, still place a question mark over it: “Am I seeing correctly?” For the devil’s snare can also be at work. Let me give...

Do Not Withhold Any Gift of God “God is not compelled to bestow His gifts,” says Saint Nektarios. “He gives them whenever He wills. Whatever we receive, we receive freely through divine mercy. Whoever seeks divine gifts and lofty spiritual visions while still burdened by passions is deluded, acting foolishly and out of pride. A person must strive for his own purification. Divine Grace bestows its gifts as a reward upon those who have been purified of their passions. It descends upon them quietly, at a time unknown to them.” “Whoever withholds any gift of God for his own personal enjoyment and benefit, without using it to benefit others,” says Saint Basil the Great, “is condemned as one who...

When Saint Nektarios was still alive, he used to tell an unbelieving Gendarmerie (police officer) to repent, confess his sins, attend church, and receive Holy Communion. However, the Gendarmerie paid no attention and believed in nothing. A time came when the Gendarmerie was transferred from Aegina to Macedonia, where he remained for 12 years. Afterwards, he returned to Aegina. Upon arriving at the seaside of Aegina, he encountered Saint Nektarios. They exchanged greetings, spoke together, and just before parting ways, Saint Nektarios reminded him how necessary it is for a person to repent. Afterwards, the Gendarmerie went to a coffee house and found his old friends. Among other things, h...

Orthodox Teaching Concerning Angels By Fr. Seraphim Rose Throughout the history of the Christian religion, angels have always been depicted in the same form, namely, as radiant young men clothed in white garments. The tradition of iconography has likewise demonstrated consistency throughout the centuries regarding the appearance of angels, who are depicted precisely as radiant young men (often with wings, which are, of course, a symbolic characteristic and are not usually encountered in visions of angels). Furthermore, the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787AD decreed that angels should be depicted only in this manner, that is, in male form. The “cherubs” (putti) of Western Renaissance art...

I Think I’m Struggling Against One Demon, But… Saint Paisios says: A person may keep falling into the same passion and yet, in reality, be making spiritual progress! You may ask, “How is that possible?” They may be advancing in their spiritual struggle without even realizing it. For in the past, perhaps a single demon was causing them to fall into that passion, whereas now they are struggling against many demons that are trying to throw them into the very same passion. For example, I decide that I will never commit a certain sin again. Yet I fall into that same sin once more—and even in a worse way. Then I say: “What is happening? I made this firm decision, and instead of stopping, it has...

Speak Properly, Speak Kindly, and Speak Respectfully Parrhesia is what we call boldness or presumptuous familiarity. A Christian should not have this kind of parrhesia. No. A Christian is humble; he is orderly even in his outward appearance; he is gracious, a person of good manners, peaceful, quiet—not insolent. Parrhesia drives away the fear of God. “Where does parrhesia come from?” Saint Paisios used to say. “From Paris!” he would joke. That is, it comes from pride. Parrhesia conceals pride. They asked Abba Agathon about parrhesia, and he said that it is like an intense heat wave: when it comes, everyone runs to hide, and it destroys the fruit of the trees—that is, the virtues. How is p...

“I See the Theotokos Every Day.” There are some people—and especially some women—who claim that every day they see the Virgin Mary, or this or that saint... "My child, what's going on with this person? I've gone my whole life without seeing anyone, yet she sees Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the saints every single day..." It is spiritual delusion. Here, the great Saint Paisios used to say that, out of the two hundred and four visions he had seen—if I remember correctly—only two were genuine and true. All the others were from the devil. Do you understand how easily spiritual delusion can enter? That is why no one should readily trust either what they themselves see or what they hear about...

The King Of Glory “Look, why do we write on the cross, us Orthodox Christians, do you know what we write? ‘The King of Glory.’ We don’t write ‘INRI,’ because that is a papal custom. We write, ‘The King of Glory.’ And Christ, when the Greeks came to visit Him and said to Philip, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus,’ and so on, right? What did the Lord say? They told Him that some Greeks were asking to see Him, and He said: ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.’ And His glory was precisely the Cross that He would soon endure. And, of course, there was also the glory that came through the Greeks, through whom, so to speak, Christ adopted the Greek language in order to give us His Gosp...

“I Hear Within Me the Holy Spirit Praying.” Reading the Fathers of the Church, we see the following: it is impossible for someone to be a temple of the Holy Spirit and not realize it—that is, not to have an inner awareness that he is a temple of the Holy Spirit. For “the Spirit—that is, the Holy Spirit—bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16). When a person reaches the state of active noetic prayer, then he becomes a child of God. Are we, then, who have been baptized, children of God? We are so potentially. We have received the authority to become children of God. We have received the possibility of adoption as sons. But we truly become children of God when...

Run Each Day to Him Saint Nicodemus the Hagiorite says that “this is the true Christian,” as the divine Paul defines him when he says: “Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24). If you wish to belong to Christ, you must crucify the flesh, together with its passions and fleshly desires. But since the only One who became the conqueror and destroyer of the world and of the passions that are in the world was Jesus Christ, through His Cross and His death—as He Himself said: “In the world you will have tribulation; but take courage, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Therefore, run each day to Him, brother, and to His Cross, and...

Lower Than Everyone Else The humble person believes that everything depends on Christ and that Christ gives him His grace, and thus he moves forward. He does not think that his spiritual progress is due to his own abilities, strength, or efforts. Rather, if he does anything good, he attributes it to the grace of God. He regards himself as lower than everyone else, giving all that is good to God, while attributing all that is bad to himself. He always possesses the joy of Christ, even amid unpleasant circumstances. This is what we were saying: he experiences sorrow, yet he is not distressed; he does not lose his joy. For Christ Himself told us through the mouth of the Apostle Paul: "Rejoice...
