Keep your mouth open (Saint John of Kronstadt)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Faith is a spiritual mouth. The more freely it opens, the greater is the river of divine waters which flows from it. Leave this mouth of yours open. Don’t allow doubt and want of faith to seal your lips hermetically, because then the treasury of God’s blessings will be inaccessible to you. Saint John Kronstadtskij

A bridle on anger (Abba Dorotheos)

Κατηγορίες: In English

If anyone curses you or saddens you, pray intensely for them, as the Fathers said, as if he were your greatest benefactor and the physician for your love of pleasure. If you do this, it will diminish your anger, because of course, again according to the Fathers, ‘love is the bridle on anger’. Above all, entreat God to grant you spiritual vigilance and prudence, so that you may know what His will is, which is good, pleasing and perfect. And also ask Him to give you the strength to be ready to do all good works. Abba Dorotheos
