The Heart and God

Saint Theophan the Recluse   God is everywhere. And when He finds a heart that isn’t opposed to Him, a humble heart, He enters it and fills it with joy. The joy of the heart which has God within it is so great that it attaches itself to Him and Read more…

Archimandrite Georgios Kapsanis, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Gregoriou †   Christmas, which by God’s Grace we’re celebrating again this year, gives us the opportunity to delve deeper into the mystery of God’s love.

And at the end… humble God

Maria Loupidou   ‘Do you know of any series I can watch, given the time of year? I’d like something romantic, optimistic and warm. I can’t get to sleep for second thoughts and feeling dejected. Something…, you know, that I can believe that there’s something good and beautiful and that Read more…

God doesn’t listen to me

Protopresbyter Georgios Dorbarakis   ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you’ (2 Cor. 6, 2) We often complain that God doesn’t listen to us. We pray, we cry aloud, we bleed, we weep, but it’s as if heaven is closed. No answer. It really seems as if God’s deaf Read more…
