The perquisite for approaching God the inaccessible is the knowledge that it is impossible for us to reach and know Him via the intellectual route. God is inaccessible in His essence, but, despite this, is known and revealed to us through His uncreated energies. We do not understand God; we experience Him. The path which leads to Him is empirical, it is a progression which has deification as its destination. In this way, through the non-rational, we are arrive at God’s glorification. God is inaccessible, then, in His essence. He is accessible to us, however, through His energy: through His uncreated energies by which He is revealed to us. In reality, there is no contradiction but rather a dialectical synthesis. We begin ...

You’ll be allowed to see miracles and in the next life you’ll enjoy delight beyond measure. Our Most Holy Lady doesn’t want candles; she wants alms to be given to the poor. Saint Georgios Karslidis
It needs great effort because the passions are very powerful. But by God’s grace, those who strive valiantly, with might and main, will overcome. Bodily exertion and study of the holy Scriptures preserve the purity of the mind. It also requires a great deal of prayer, so that Divine Grace will mantle those who are striving. It takes a great spiritual struggle to acquire the Grace of the Holy Spirit, because people are easily led astray into wickedness and lose in a trice what it has taken them enormous effort to gain. There’s good and evil in people’s hearts. Which of the two will win depends on your own struggle. If we allow ourselves freedom, without restraint, evil will triumph. When we ...
