Many say that the Christian life is unpleasant and difficult. I say that it is both joyful and easy, but it requires two conditions: humility and love.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia

A Christian should avoid unhealthy religiosity: both the feeling of superiority due to virtue, and the feeling of inferiority due to sinfulness.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
When you see that the devil has your child by the throat, instead of getting angry at your son for straying from the right path, turn to God. Learn to turn to God in prayer for your children. Instead of scolding or condemning them, ask God to intervene in your struggles with your children.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
We need to be careful not to harbour any resentment against those who harm us, but rather to pray for them with love. Whatever any of our fellow men does, we should never think evil of him. We need always to have thoughts of love and always to think good of others. Look at Saint Stephen the first martyr. He prayed, Lord, do not hold this sin against them. We need to do the same.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
When people are empty of Christ, a thousand and one other things come and fill them up: jealousies, hatreds, boredom, melancholy, resentment, a worldly outlook, worldly pleasures. Try to fill your soul with Christ so that it's not empty.
Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
When you lose all hope, God sends you something you didn't even expect... You just have to believe and love the Lord. Just as He loves and cares for us!
