He IS the Bread of Life

Brethren, let us nourish our souls with Christ, that our souls may be alive and healthy.  Let us continually nourish our minds with Christ’s thoughts, that our minds might be enlightened and clear.

Let us continually nourish our hearts with the love of Christ, that our heart might be full and joyful.

lamp to my feet

candles before God

Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my paths.

(Psalm 118:105)

 

“Like candles, so our souls must stand upright before God.

The narrow way, my brothers, leads to the Kingdom of God.   Only in restraint of mind, heart and will can the candles of virtue be lit, the flames of which rise up before God.   We must, under the image of burning candles,  understand the Christian virtues.”

unshakable peace

acquire the Holy Spirit

 

“Precious to all men is peace of soul.  With those who have acquired peace of soul, the body can be in constant motion, at work, or in pain, but their souls, cleaving to God, remain always in unshakable peace.  Saint Seraphim of Sarov teaches: “We must endeavor by every means to keep peace of soul.”
