                                                                         Wisdom of the Holy Fathers:

Purity of heart is achieved through keeping the Divine Commandments, without which the spiritual life in general is meaningless. The battle with the passions and cleansing the heart of the passions is essential. Humility is indispensable as an unshakable foundation~ Elder Nikon of Optina

It is impossible to pass your entire life without temptations and sorrows, and to always be happy and without a care. Know that God is caring for you when He sends sorrows and griefs, and with them He tries to instruct you and make you more wise in spiritual understanding. Without sorrows we cannot be humble or acquire spiritual understanding. And be assured that without God’s permission, no kind of sorrow can come to us. Although it may seem that people are the cause of them, they are the instruments by which God acts in the work of our salvation ~ Elder Macarius of Optina
