The person we give our heart to may hurt us or abandon us. The evil spirits are forever suggesting wicked thoughts that undermine our loving disposition and torment us. Divine love is limitless and embraces everything, whereas we attach ourselves to people and inanimate objects. Our heart’s imprisoned by the things of the world, and if they engulf us, it mourns and suffers.

Fr. Nikolaos is the Chair of the Department of Theology and Pastoral Studies and a Professor of Dogmatics and Philosophy at the University Ecclesiastical Academy of Thessaloniki, a Visiting Professor at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Winchester. The real problem of our times isn’t atheism, but polytheism. Indeed, in the sense of idolatry. The danger is present because we put the clamorous monstrosities of our fantasies in the place of Christ, our loving, sacrificed and humble God. How do people today experience Easter?

Source:www.ucsusa.org Just as a mother teacher a child to walk, so God teaches us to have living faith in Him. The child tries, takes a step and falls. In the same way, God teaches us to have Christian faith in Him. Our faith in Him is weak, it’s at the first stage, like a child learning how to walk, so God leaves us alone, without His help, and allows Satan to subject us to trials and sorrows

His friends and the monks who were on board tried to help him by saying ...
