This is the way we should see Christ. He is our friend and our brother. He is whatever is good and beautiful. He is everything. Yet, He is still a friend and He shouts it out, "You're My friends, don't you understand that? We're brothers — I don't hold hell in My hands. I am not threatening you. I love you. I want you to enjoy life together with Me. ☦️Saint Porphyrios

“The least departure from Tradition can lead to a scorning of every dogma of our Faith.” ☦️Saint Photios the Great, Patriarch of Constantinople
Today the Orthodox Church commemorates Saint Photios the Great! For those that don’t know, St. Photios was the Patriarch that sent his two nephews, Saints Cyril and Methodios, from Thessaloniki in the year 863 to preach the Gospel in Moravia. They developed an alphabet for the Slavonic people and as a result of their efforts, the Slavic nations embraced Orthodox Christianity. As a Father of the Church, Saint Photios’ achievements as Patriarch have earned him a reputation as the greatest of all Patriarchs. May we always have his prayers and intercessions!

No one ever became holy by fighting evil. We only become holy by falling in love with Christ. ☦️Saint Porphyrios

There is nothing higher than what is called repentance and confession. The sacrament is the offering of God's love to mankind. In this perfect way a person is free of evil. We go and confess and we sense our reconciliation with God — Joy enters us and guilt departs. In the Orthodox Church there is no impasse. ☦️Saint Porphyrios
If they mock you, don’t answer back. If they curse you, keep silent and pray. If you are treated unjustly, pay no attention, and just let it be. If they criticize you, don’t justify yourself. If they mistreat you, don’t fight back. If they treat you with sarcasm, bear the pain. ☦️Elder Ephraim of Arizona

There is no sin which conquers the mercy of God. Thus, the sins of man are zero [implying there is repentance and confession]. When the child returns to the bosom of the Lord, all things cease before His mercy. ☦️Elder Ephraim of Arizona
