“Give your whole self completely over to the Protecting Veil of the Panagia.”

“Strive for the union of your Soul with God.”

“The Spiritual life has great joys. You fly away and leave this world and don’t take anything else into consideration. You become a child and God lives in your heart.”

“The Saints submitted to whatever God sent them, with childlike simplicity, “That’s the way You want it. Let Your Will be done.””

“Sweeten your thoughts with words of consolation and hope. Warm your words with the warmth of your love towards your Bridegroom and remember His Passion, which He underwent for you, so that you would remain firm, devoted and humble.”

“When a person is simplified, he is Deified. He becomes innocent, humble, gentle, free.”

“Never ever give importance to anything earthly and fleeting. Take care of your Spiritual union with God instead.”

“Our religion slays the passions, not the body.”

“Loneliness is a conversation with God and with those spirits that approach us with love and tenderness. I will never exchange the dry and dark rocks of Patmos for the flower-lined gardens of Athens. People in the city are without a Holy covering. They look at the pretty flowers and beautiful country houses, without their hearts giving thanks to God Who has filled us with so many beautiful things. On the other hand, when in a deserted place even the ugliest spot and worst-sounding bird makes you sense God’s nearness to you. He who is near God is most fortunate, though he might live on a rock.”
