‘Indeed, I tell you, they have their reward’. Whatever we gain and achieve in virtue and our moral perfection is an inviolable treasure and, moreover, one that’s personal, inalienable. It’s not ‘about us’, it’s ‘us’, not even the body and senses, but our soul, our inner spiritual worth, our existence. Since the struggle we’re engaged in is to live in a spiritual manner, we ought to do so properly. For example, the Lord says that if we’re to benefit from the fast, we have to keep it in the right way, because those who fast in the wrong way ‘have their reward’ (Matth. 6, 16). Today, at the gates of Great Lent, we’d like to indicate certain conditions which prevent fasting ...

Each of us will have an opinion about God that’s commensurate with the measure of the Grace of the Holy Spirit we have. Because, how is it possible to think about and judge things we haven’t seen and don’t know? The saints say they’ve seen God. But there are people who say God doesn’t exist. It’s obvious that they talk like that because they don’t know Him; but that doesn’t at all mean that He doesn’t exist. The saints talk about things about things they’ve actually seen and know about. They don’t say, for example, that they saw a horse a kilometer long, or a ship that was 10 kilometers. I believe that, if there wasn’t a God, they wouldn’t ...
