Every passion and all aloofness is merely a spiritual ailment. You have to heal the wickedness and spiritual sickness of others with love and goodness, as you would like them to treat you if were suffering from the same illness. Who doesn’t have weaknesses? Who’s never troubled by the evil one? Saint John Kronstadtskij
People strive as hard as they can to achieve perfection, even in their everyday activities. This is testimony to the potential God has given us to become perfect and whole as psychosomatic entities and beings. Elder Efraim Vatopaidinos

An old monk by the name of Ioakeim, from the Monastery of Grigoriou, writes: I’d made my final decision and left secretly for the Holy Mountain. The journey was uneventful. I passed through and visited a lot of monasteries and sketes and carefully studied the way of life in each. Having collected much valuable information I decided to become a monk at the Holy Monastery of Blessed Gregory.
