"He finally secured backbreaking work with a tobacco processing plant, where he would prepare the tobacco bales and stack them into boxes and cases. He then conveyed them to a pushcart and made deliveries around the city. His pay consisted mostly of his room and board. He worked late hours, and it was not unusual for his employer to raise his hand and strike the boy. Though he was far from home, yet Anastasios's avid zeal for learning and a heart filled with godly fear remained ever with him... In the midst of the capital's clamor and crowd, and at such a young age, he nonetheless neglected not his prayers and meditation upon the writings of the Church fathers. All those dealing with terse,...

“Speaking of Elder Ephraim of Arizona, he [St. Ephraim of Katounakia] once remarked: ‘Whatever he sets his hand to in life shall prosper, for he embraced perfect obedience and brought great consolation to the heart of his Elder.’ “ —The Fragrance of Christ (p. 23)

"The Elder was completely opposed to the long-standing, persistent attempts by certain secularized ecclesiastical circles to revise and loosen the fasting rules of the Church. He used to say: 'The value of fasting is so great, that even if it had not been instituted by the Church, she would have to institute it now. How much less then should we seek to abolish or alter an institution already established centuries ago, which has manifested so many Saints.'" —Geronda Epiphanios Theodoropoulos Counsels for Life (p. 110)

“I personally met Fr. Joseph on Mount Athos, where he was ascetically striving, in 1956. He was very devoted to the Prayer. He had progressed, he had advanced very far. He prayed for a long time both day and night. And if he did not have time, he would create it; so much did he love prayer. Indeed, he would set an alarm clock somewhere so that it would ring after six hours. And he had this blessing, this grace from God, to devote himself to the Prayer for six hours continuously, and by the grace of God he did not merely say the Prayer as we do today, but he would sink deep into the heart and there, in the depths of his heart, he would say the Prayer. ‘And then,’ he says, ‘the alarm rings and...

"When you, dearest friend, hear it said that the grace of the Spirit is also 'theurgic,' do not be especially concerned, nor inquire after how it could or could not be this or that, since, according to those who have spoken about it, without it you will not belong to God; rather, hold fast to those works by which you may obtain it, for then you will know it (insofar as this is possible.) Indeed, according to Basil the Great, he who learns the energies of the Spirit by experience, who seeks knowledge prior to works by trusting in those who have had experience, only receives a certain impression of the truth. But, when he thinks about things on his own terms, thus losing even the impression,...

1. Each day read one chapter from the Gospels in order, beginning with Matthew and ending with John. 2. Along with the Gospel, each day read two chapters from the Apostol (the rest of the New Testament), beginning with the Acts of the Apostles and ending with the Revelation of St. John the Theologian, reading the last seven chapters of the Revelation on the same day. In this way, you will read through the whole New Testament every eighty-nine days (four times each year.) 3. Finally, read one kathisma from the Psalter each day, beginning with the first and ending with the last (there are twenty kathismata). Thus the entire Psalter will be read more than once a month. — The Optina Monast...
