Who is far from love is a bad state, and to be pitied. He passes his days in a delirious dream, far from God, deprived of light, and he lives in darkness ... Whoever does not have the love of Christ is an enemy of Christ. He walks in darkness and is easily lead into any sin.

Ephrem the Syrian

In various misfortunes, say: 'Lord, I believe that I endure what is due and receive what I deserve. But You, Lord, in Your mercy, forgive and have mercy on me,' - and repeat this until you feel peace in your soul.

Nectarius of Optina

Gregory Palamas

John of Kronstadt

After our death, when we come face to face with Christ, we will understand the why and how of our lives and we will be told everything we went through in this world. Then, with all the power of our existence, we will say to Him, "Thank you, my God, for allowing these for me!"
