At the time of Saint Savvas, many virtuous monks lived in his lavra, serving the Lord. Then a rich, virtuous leader, of noble stock, also went to live there as a monk and the saint received him gladly. Since he wasn’t used to hard work, Saint Savvas was careful of him and didn’t allow him to go out with the others to do heavy agricultural work. They would work until the ninth hour, return and read the service all together and, after Vespers, would eat. Once a day, in common. Since the man couldn’t do this, because he was a beginner, the saint told him to work in the monastery as much as he could and to fast until the return of ...

Now we proceed with the same faith, which is no longer abstract, however, because the promises have come, the fullness of time has arrived, the incarnation of the Word of God has occurred and the ‘angel of great counsel’ has appeared (Is. 9, 6). Our faith is focused, because the Only-Begotten Son of God has come. We’ve seen Him, we’ve touched Him, we’ve heard Him and we already possess Him. Now, with us, faith is something more. It’s no longer the simple faith of the Forefathers, who expected that, in accordance with His promise, God would come at some time and would save their descendants and the whole of humankind in general. We’ve gone beyond the limits of this introductory ...

Confession is the voluntary and sincere disclosure of the sins that have been committed – without shame or hesitation, but with self-censure and contrition – before the person appointed by the Church to forgive sins. For it to be real and effective, it must be voluntary and sincere, because hasty and insincere confession is pointless, since it’s not a genuine dictate of the heart, an expression of remorse and a manifestation of the desire to be cured. Confession has to take place without shame and hesitation, but rather with courage and self-condemnation, because courage is an expression of our rejection of sin, whereas shame demonstrates a lack of courage. » Saint Nectarios of Pentapolis
