Wisdom from the Holy Fathers

“Pray to the Mother of God. She will intercede for you in this life, and after death she will help you to pass through the toll-houses and reach the Heavenly Kingdom” ~  Elder Barnsanuphius of Optina

 

“Humble yourself, humble yourself. All science, all the wisdom of life are summed up in these words: I was brought low and the Lord saved me (Psalm 114:5). Humble yourself and endure everything. Learn humility and patience and you will have peace of soul. Be assured, that for one who has peace of soul, even a prison camp will be like Paradise”  ~ Elder Barsanuphius of Optina
