"A man who is wrathful with us is a sick man; we must apply a plaster to his heart - love; we must treat him kindly, speak to him gently, lovingly. And if there is not deeply-rooted malice against us within him, but only a temporary fit of anger, you will see how his heart, or his malice, will melt away through your kindness and love - how good will conquer evil. A Christian must always be kind, gracious, and wise in order to conquer evil by good."

-Saint John of Kronstadt
"Be kinder than necessary because everyone is fighting their war or battle and suffering losses. Live simply, love generously, care deeply for the needs of your neighbour, speak softly. . . And leave the rest to the Lord. It is not faith, nor dogmatics, nor mysticism, nor ascetism, nor fasting, nor long prayer, but love that makes one a true Christian. Everything becomes pointless without this fundamental thing - love for our neighbour."

-Saint Luke the Blessed Surgeon

"The Ladder of Divine Ascent" by Saint John Climacus

Saint John Climacus was a 7th-century monk and abbot of Saint Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai. He is very renown for his spiritual wisdom.

"The Ladder of Divine Ascent" is a timeless guide to monastic and Christian perfection. Originally written for monks, over time it become a very valuable book for all believers as it outlines the soul’s ascent to God through thirty steps, mirroring the ladder seen by Jacob in the Old Testament.

This book demands self-examination and repentance. Yet, it is also a beacon of hope, reminding us that every fall can be redeemed through God’s love. As relevant today as in the 7th century, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent" is essential reading for anyone seeking to climb toward holiness 🧐
Yuriev Monastery!3️⃣

Founded in 1030 by Prince Yaroslav the Wise, Yuriev Monastery is one of the oldest and most important monastic complexes in Russia. Located near Veliky Novgorod, it was a major spiritual and cultural center of medieval Rus 🧐

In the heart of this sanctuary, the St. George's Cathedral is located, which was built in 1119. The place has survived the Mongol invasion and many wars after that, but the WW2 period left this monastery in an extremely desolate state. German troops plundered the cathedral and used it as a military outpost, and as a result it was damaged by artillery 😭

Due to renewal works in 19th century and WW2, the original frescoes inside did not survive. In 1902 an iconographer M. N. Safonov was invited to create a new fresco cycle, which is still in great condition today 🥰

Overall, the Yuriev monastery is in a rather poor state, a portion of it is practically uninhabitable and is in dire need of reconstruction. Hopefully, we will see this ancient place shine once more in the future!
