The Still Point

"There is no better way to teach a child Christianity than to live it truly and from the heart. You cannot teach what you do not live."

~St. Silouan the Athonite

"I believe that when death closes our eyes we shall awaken to a light, of which our sunlight is but the shadow.”

~Arthur Schopenhauer

"There is no need to make long prayers, but extend your hands and say, 'Lord, as you will and as you desire, lead me.' If the conflict is urgent within you, say, 'Lord, help.' He knows what is good for us, and He acts with mercy toward us."

~St. Macarius the Great

"God fashioned mankind out of His Love and He created man to love… so, we are created by Love, for Love."

~Fr. Ananias Koustenis

"Completely have trust in God, leave everything in His hands, and believe that His love will act for your own benefit. Then God will take care of everything, because there is nothing He cannot do; everything is easy for Him. The difficult thing is for man to decide to humble himself and leave everything to God's providence and love."
