You should know that the only unerring star that leads you to practice the holy virtues is fear, divine and always pure, through which each one of us is removed far from evil. Always steer strictly by it as you sail straight for the heavenly, sheltered haven. And know also that practical observation of the divine commandments will be acceptable through fear of the Lord. » Saint Maximus the Greek

In the Gospel, it states that the disciples ‘were assembled for fear of the Jews’. One could envisage that fear was not the only motivation that gathered them together. Perhaps they would have been less vulnerable if they had remained dispersed. Probably they gathered together because their hearts all burned with the same love for the Teacher, which acted as a catalyst of unity. They had become witnesses of the death of the Lord, but their love for Him kept Him alive within them. The Lord heard the sighs of this fearful love and He fastened His love to them. He revealed himself to them and gave them His peace. We can see in each of the Lord’s appearances after the ...

This story was told by Archimandrite Gavriil (1886-1983), former Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Dionysiou. Back in the late 1970s, early ’80s, I was making a visit to the Holy Mountain, which is easy from Thessaloniki, where we live. In those days, the ship’s first stop was the boat-house of Zograf, the Bulgarian monastery. When we got there, a venerable monk came on board accompanied by three or four younger ones. Everyone on the boat- captain, crew, passengers- stopped what they were doing and stood up. Naturally I did the same, without knowing why. When we settled down again, I asked someone who it was and he said ‘Elder Gavriil, from Dionysiou’. Apart from the obvious respect in which ...

Timid people, the great and wise Abbas Isaac the Syrian used to say, generally suffer from two spiritual illnesses: lack of faith and excessive concern for the body. If you struggle to overcome these two evils, it will be obvious that you believe wholeheartedly in God and that you’re ready to accept anything unpleasant that He may allow to happen to you. » Saint Isaac the Syrian
When I was abroad in 1987 I saw Geronda again in my sleep after finishing my vigil. He looked very happy and much younger than he was when he passed away. He said to me: “My child, know that when you are obedient, you help make my petitions and intercessions more accepted by God because I am praying for people who are forceful in their spiritual struggle.” “Yes, Geronda, we are trying to be obedient, and I try to do everything you told me. I have held on to everything you taught me, and. now I live—in a simple way—as you used to live.” He was delighted to hear that, and when I woke up I was thoroughly renewed. It is very ...
