"It is foolish to think that wealth or abundance, or even moderate means would be advantageous or possibly reassuring. The rich worry even more than the poor and impoverished. Poverty and being in want are closer to humility and to salvation if only one who is poor does not become fainthearted, but with faith and hope relies on the all-good Providence of God. Until this day the Lord has fed u...

"All of life is a wondrous mystery, known to God alone. There are no incidental chains of events in life - everything is providential. We don't understand the meaning of one or another circumstance - there are many boxes before us, but no keys to them. Take note of the events in your life. There is a profound meaning in everything. Now they're incomprehensible to you, but later much...

Troparion — Tone 4 Like a radiant star, you shone from east to west, / for after leaving your homeland, you reached the region of Vyatka, and the God-protected city of Khlynov, / where you established a Monastery for the glory of the Most Holy Theotokos. / There you gathered a multitude of monks, directing them to the path of salvation. / You were a converser with Angels and a colleague of Fasters...

“When I see an orphan in the street, dirty, hungry and in tatters, I do not ask him who he is—Jewish, Russian, Chinese. Before me is an unfortunate, hungry child who needs to be fed, clothed and comforted. He is a person and a member of the human race.” St. Jonah of Hankou #orphan #humanity #orthodoxy For more Abbot Tryphon content, and the All-Merciful Saviour Monastery, please visit the followin...

“In our prayer, we should ask only for the salvation of our soul. Didn't the Lord say, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you’ (Matt. 6:33)? Easily, without the slightest difficulty, Christ can give us what we want. And remember the secret. The secret is not to think about asking for the specific thing at all. The secret is to ask for your union with Christ w...

“...You have to hold onto the spirit. The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (II Cor. 3:6). If in monasticism one sees only the form, then it's not just hard to live, but horrible. Hold fast to the spirit. Look at what unbelief, nihilism, and carrion there is in the seminaries and theological academies. And this is all because it's all just cramming without feeling or meaning. Th...

"Do not be afraid because of your Orthodoxy; do not be afraid because, as an Orthodox in the West, you will be often isolated and always in a small minority.

"With the [Jesus] Prayer man becomes like a child. It brings him back to the simplicity and innocence that Adam had in Paradise before the fall. With the Prayer one acquires blessed, holy dispassion. Through the Prayer you sanctify the place you are sitting and the work you are doing. Prayer arranges all things. It enables you to walk on water. It eliminates distances between you and others....

“Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and the world cannot bear it. We constantly rebel, try to make life easier, try to be half-Christian, try to make the best of both worlds.

"To find salvation, it is necessary to submit your life to a certain order. For where there is order, there is peace, and where there is peace, there is God; but where there is disorder, there is confusion, and where there is confusion, there is the devil."

“If we imagine the cross as a tree, then its root is faith, from which grows first of all self-denial and the determination to abandon everything and to concentrate on the sole task of the salvation of one's soul, withdrawing from all else. From self-denial is born love, prepared for every obedience; from obedience - or simultaneously with it - grows patience, crowned with hope that raises on...

"Do not lose your temper with those who sin. Do not have a passion for noticing every sin in your neighbor and judging it, as we usually do. Everyone will give an answer for himself before God. Especially, do not look with evil intention on the sins of those older than you, with whom you have no business. But correct your own sins, your own heart." + St. John of Kronstadt #sin #judging #...
