Do not say, ‘Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.’ Fly from that dejection, children!
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
Love children especially, for they too are sinless like the angels; they live to soften and purify our hearts and as it were to guide us. Woe to him who offends a child!
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
For how can a man shake off his habits, what can become of him if he is in such bondage to the habit of satisfying the innumerable desires he has created for himself? He is isolated, and what concern has he with the rest of humanity? They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
My friends, pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hider its being accomplished.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov. (via fatherzosima)
Brothers, have no fear of men’s sin. Love a man even in his sin, for that is the semblance of Divine Love and is the highest love on earth.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
Lord, save those whom there is no one to pray for, save also those who do not want to pray to You. It is not in my pride that I pray for this, Lord, for I myself am the greatest of sinners.
Father Zosima’s Prayer (via vmproductions-us)
“We have fought oppressive and repressive political regimes, based on Christian principles, for centuries. . . . A Christian must cry out in indignation against all persecution. That’s what made me walk with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma. We are all responsible, and must continue to speak out.”
- Archbishop Iakovos

TRUMP WAS WRONG
Can Drumpf stop being loud and wrong for once in his life?
possibly not, possibly never 😂😂😂😂
He doesn’t have to be accurate. The whites elected him because he sells their fantasy.
“the h’wites” elected him because he was better than the candidate the corrupt candidate the Democrats ran, better than comrade Sanders, or the war mongering Republicans he ran against. You blacks seem to be far more deluded than whitey, college degrees don’t mean much if its some niche african cultures degree.
Please take Orthodox out of your name.
No because Orthodoxy doesn’t support communists, or their propaganda. so you don’t have problem with someone saying “the whites elected him” but because I say “blacks” I am worse? so no I will not. Please actual take the time to read Dostoevsky.
Please take Orthodox out of your name.

I ponder ‘What is hell?’ I maintain that it is the suffering of no longer being able to love.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
It’s not necessary to particularly focus to say the prayer. You don’t need to put effort into it when you have divine love. Wherever you are, on a stool, on a chair, in a car, anywhere, in the street, at school, in the office, at work you can say the prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me”, softly, without pressure, without strain.
- Elder Porphyrios
Bravery and heroism are marked by the courage of all Christians, regardless of their dire circumstances, whether poor, ill, or disadvantaged, but greet each day with faith and fill every church in this great land that has been blessed by the blood of the martyrs for more than 2000 years. We are not praying for our martyrs, for they have won the kingdom of God. We are praying and fasting for those who commit these cowardice acts and hide behind the cloak of religion to destroy a nation trying to recover from years of the poison of extremism. We are praying and fasting, not for our martyrs, for they have obtained forgiveness through the body and blood of Christ, but for those who do not know the meaning of love and will not be forgiven until they learn the power of love. We are praying and fasting, not for our martyrs, for they held their children in their arms so that they would grow in their footsteps and follow the rules of love and forgiveness, but for those who are steered by hate and teach their children to kill. We are praying and fasting for the healing of all Egyptians, Christians and Muslims, that we may live together in peace, safety, and civility for the good of all citizens. We are praying and fasting, not for our martyrs, for they followed God’s commandments, but for those who do not denounce these horrific crimes, that will worsen matters by not taking a stand. We are praying and fasting that the Lord will be swift in hearing the call of the martyrs’ blood and bring these murderers to justice here on earth and in eternity. May the Lord comfort the families and loved ones of our beloved martyrs and may He root out all aggression from His beloved Egypt, and may He heal the pain of all Egyptians suffering from the consequences of terrorism.

It cannot be but so, since the Word is for all. All creation and all creatures, every leaf is striving to the Word, singing glory to God, weeping to Christ, unconsciously accomplishing this by the mystery of their sinless life.

And what follows from this right of multiplication of desires? In the rich, isolation and spiritual suicide; in the poor, envy and murder; for they have been given rights but have not been shown the means of satisfying their wants.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
At some thoughts one stands perplexed, especially at the sight of men’s sins, and wonders whether one should use force or humble love. Always decide to use humble love. If you resolve on that once for all, you may subdue the whole world. Loving humility is marvelously strong, the strongest of all things and there is nothing like it.
Father Zosima, The Brothers Karamazov (via fatherzosima)
