My child, always be careful, both when you are happy and when you are sad. When you are happy you...
When you pray for yourself or for somebody else, for spiritual benefit, such as, for example, to be freed from some form of torment or from your sins or bad habits, do so with your whole heart. And the Lord will give you what you want. » Saint John of Kronstadt
The holy Elder Porfyrios is an odd sort of saint. He was a monk in the world, he involved himself with an assortment of people, he embraced their pain and recognized them not from their outward appearance but from their soul. In this way he became first a people’s saint and then a saint of the Church. Before his canonization, believers, disbelievers and unbelievers who had felt his touch had already declared him to be a saint. It wasn’t the representatives of theology or the clergy who first wrote about the holy Elder. It was ordinary people who first wrote, talked and recognized him and they weren’t necessarily people ‘of the Church’. That may be because his very life was testimony ...

In his Epistle to the Hebrews, Saint Paul says that the word of God is sharper than any double-edged sword (4, 12). Today we don’t use double-edged swords so much. Most often we come across them in museum collections or as ornaments in drawing-rooms. Woe betide us if we’ve made the ‘sword of the Spirit’ into a household ornament. A modern theologian justifiably asks, ‘What’s the point of a theology which isn’t action?. And what’s the point of a theology which is brandished as a weapon against unbelievers and isn’t ptroductive in those who profess it?’ The fruits of humility This danger is what Saint Paul wishes to prevent in the second part of his Epistle to the Ephesians, which is the ...
