1. The soul is a
profound being and only God understands it.
2. Why do we chase
after shadows? We should turn on the Light and the shadows will dissipate of
their own accord. We should allow Christ
to fill our souls and the demons will leave on their own.
3. A person may speak
about his sins and then brag about them while another person will speak of his
sins and will be humbled by them.
4. A lazy person cannot
become a Christian. It requires a great
deal of work, a lot of work.
5. If you desire, you
can become a saint in Omonia Square. (This
is in reference to the years that the Elder Porphyrios lived and ministered to
the faithful in Omonia Square in downtown Athens, Greece.)
6. God loves us very
much. He constantly has us in His thoughts and He protects us. We must believe
this reality well and not be afraid of anything in life.
7. You must ask God to
forgive your sins. And God, from whom
you ask this with pain and humbleness, will forgive your sins and He will heal
your bodily ills.
8. Morbid grief and
worry is not from God, it is a trap of the devil.
9. God concerns Himself
with all the details of our lives. We
must understand that He is not indifferent to our needs. We are not alone in this world. (I
learned this spiritual truth in a revelation that I received in the altar of
St. Sophia Church).
10. You should fill up
your souls with the presence of Christ, with divine love, with joy. The joy of Christ will heal you.
11. You should not be
concerned whether or not people like you, but you should be concerned about
loving Christ and all your fellow human beings.
Only in this way will your soul be filled with Jesus Christ.
12. The most important
thing in our lives is to love Christ and then all our problems will be
resolved.
