If as you work you remember God, this constitutes prayer.

Every reference of the mind and heart to God is real prayer.

If as you work, you remember God, this constitutes prayer.

The constant memory of God will flood your heart with an inexpressible peace.

For prayer is not words and repentance, but the attachment of the mind and heart to God.

(Saint Theophan the Recluse)

Do not postpone repentance for tomorrow, my dears.

 Do not postpone repentance for tomorrow, my dears.

You do not know if today will be your last day.

The devil deceives you by telling you "tomorrow".

Repentance is our only property before God.

If you have a heart that repents, no sin remains unforgivable.

Whoever always has the memory of death before his eyes will neither sin, nor hold a grudge, nor quarrel.

Death is the wisest teacher.

Whoever ignor es him, wanders in darkness.

-        Saint Nyphon of Constantian.

 

When the housewife puts a cake in the oven, she does not take it out until she is sure that it is baked.

 

“When the housewife puts a cake in the oven, she does not take it out until she is sure that it is baked. The Master of the universe has put you in an oven and is keeping you there until you are baked. So be patient and wait. You will not stay in the oven a minute longer than necessary. As soon as you are ready, the Lord will take you out. But if you throw yourself out, you will be like the half-baked cake. I must also tell you that, according to our faith, whoever endures difficulties without complaint, believing that God grants them for his good, is equal to the martyrs. Always remember this, so that you may be comforted.”

(Saint Theophanes the Recluse)

 

My brothers, nothing can resist pure prayer that is done with fervour and humility…

 

My brothers, nothing can resist pure prayer that is done with fervour and humility…

“God told David to go and get five stones from the river, put them in his bosom and go out to fight Goliath… And so he did. The little boy went out in front of the giant Goliath and with one blow he threw him down…

Do you know, my brother, what are David’s 5 stones? They are the 5 words of the prayer…” Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me”…

Saint Ephraim Katounakiotis

Pray to the Virgin Mary with her Salutations and the Intercession.

 

Pray to the Virgin Mary with her Salutations and the Intercession.

If you do not have time, call out to her: “My Virgin Mary, my Virgin Mary has arrived.” Her name has everything in it.

Say “Rejoice O Bride Ever - Virgin” many times.

And just say with your heart: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us”. It has such power that it can sustain you all day. It is enough to say it as it is.
