☦ Elder Nikon of Mount Athos:

☦ Elder Nikon of Mount Athos: "When your life is in contradiction with your words, your words are empty. That’s why the Fathers of the Church say: “Words without life are silent! Life without words is loud!” Your life, even without words, shouts and shows who you are! But because we are lazy, because we do not want to get tired, we prefer to convince people of Christianity through arguments, words, sermons and shouts..."
