The Most Holy Theotokos of Tenderness

[mysticmagdalene]

[asmallorthodoxblog]

,,Of all the saints whom you ought to honor, honor the Mother of God the most! The saints of God can do much, but none as much as the Mother of God. If the Mother of God were not in Heaven, between the Holy Trinity and us, this world would have been lost long ago. She stands forever on her knees and prays to the Most Holy Trinity.

Billions of souls who have faith and hope in the Mother of God will easily pass through the aerial toll-houses and from death to life because they have honored the Mother of God. So, I ask you, let not the Akathist to the Mother of God, the Paraklesis, and other prayers to the Mother of God be missing from your home! And let the vigil lamp burn before her icon permanently."

-St. Cleopa Ilie
