Not knowledge that you learn, but knowledge that you suffer: that is Orthodox spirituality.

One thing is education: that we learn how to love God.

We become a replication of heaven with “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

One does not notice that he loves, just as one does not notice that he breathes.

When the mind (nous) is not scattered among worldly things but is united to God, then our greeting “Good day” becomes a blessing.

God often desires not the act but the intention. It is enough that He sees you are willing to do what He commands.

When God created us, He gave us life and breathed His Spirit into us. That Spirit is Love. When we lack love, we become corpses, entirely dead.

The language of God is silence.

Whoever lives in the past is as if dead. Whoever lives in the future in his fantasy (or imagination) is naive, for the future belongs only to God. The Joy of Christ is found only in the present, in the Eternal Present of God.

Love is a bomb that destroys all evil.

Some want to go to the Resurrection without going by way of Golgotha.

Our soul is a Divine Breath. Our body is His Creation. In our whole being we are the icon of God.
