“What precisely is the meaning of this life? It is to be prepared for our homeland, for Heaven… This present life is not for us to have a good time. On the contrary, it is meant for us to be tested and to pass over into the future, eternal life."

— St. Paisios the Athonite

@orthodox_33ad Thank you for this! I really needed this! May God bless you!

Christ taught something most people forget: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.” (Matthew 6:22–23)

He isn’t only talking about eyesight but attention. About what we let into the mind and heart. What you feed your eyes slowly becomes what you feed your soul. In Orthodox life, we care about watchfulness because the heart is easily formed by what it repeatedly sees, consumes and dwells on. If we fill our eyes with anger, envy, mockery, lust, constant noise and anything that brings us down, we shouldn’t be surprised when our inner life becomes restless and dark.

If we fill our eyes with prayer, Scripture, beauty that is pure, kindness, forgiveness, love and things that lead us to God, our heart becomes lighter, we become calmer, more able to forgive and to pray. This is not about being perfect, but about being honest with ourselves. Ask yourself: “What have my eyes been consuming lately and what has it been doing to my heart?”

Christ wasn’t trying to restrict us, but to free and protect us. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” ~ Psalm 51:10 ☦️

When we start to have great ideas about ourselves, God allows greater temptations to come upon us and defeat us, so that we're humbled and seek his help again.

[Prekarios Styletes ☦️📿 @prekariosstylet]

All men desire peace but they do not know how to attain it. St Paisios the Great, having lost his temper, begged the Lord to deliver him from irritability. The Lord appeared to him, and said, “Paisios, if you wish to avoid anger - desire naught, neither judge nor hate any man, and then you will have no anger.” Thus everyone who renounces his own will before God and other people will always be at peace in his soul; but the man who likes to have his own way will never know peace.

@infovjr @StitchLiberty @DavidJHarrisJr @MrPoundSand Putting words into the mouth of The Lord is sinful.

[Frb @FrFr21X]

@DavidJHarrisJr Jesus Christ is the way! Regards of what fallacies or false narratives are spread, He is the truth!

You can try to bend society to a false reality but in the end, the truth is the truth regardless of opinions or laws.

Weak men cannot be gentle. They can be powerless but not gentle.

Strong men can be gentle.

He who is weak is already half way to hell.
