If someone offended you with a word, don't answer. By silence you disarm a person.
Paisios of Mount AthosMore Paisios of Mount Athos quotes
When children see that their parents love each other, respect one another, are attentive to each other, pray together, and so on-all of this leaves a deep impression on their young souls. That is why I say: if parents pass on their piety to their children, it will be the greatest inheritance they could ever leave them.
Paisios of Mount Athos
The Church is a ship. Some may sleep on it, some may do nothing, some may battle the waves. But it still continues its journey, and all the passengers sail forward with it. The main thing is to be inside the Church. Therefore, try not to miss divine services and visit the temple more often.
