They’re all good (Saint Iakovos Tsalikis)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Earn your bread in any way, provided you work for it. Of the children of Adam and Eve, one was a farmer, the other a shepherd. All jobs are good, provided we’re close to God. Saint Paul wouldn’t take bread from anyone for free, but worked with his hands for it. He made tents. So the great saints of our Church also worked for a living. Christ Himself also worked, as a carpenter. He was God and human, but He still worked. Work is always a virtue for people. Saint Iakovos Tsalikis

He opened all the gates (Saint Nicholas Velimirovich)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Sin tied the wings of Adam and his descendants and so they were all separated from God. The very clay from which they were made blinded them. Christ, the first Adam, and first human being, the first-born of all creation, was the first to ascend into heaven on spiritual wings, to the throne of eternal glory and power. He trod the path to heaven and opened all the gates for the faithful who have their spiritual wings open, just as the eagle  opens the way for the eaglets, or as the swallow who flies first, as the leader, shows the way to the rest of the flock and overcomes the resistance of the air. Saint Nikolaj Velimirović
