“Strengthen me with perfumes, stay me with apples: for I am wounded with love.”
— Song 2:5

“We must learn how to preserve our spiritual balance, and when the weather is cloudy and stormy we must be at peace and be joyful.

We must try to always be in good spirits, always joyful, because the spirits of evil want us to be sad all the time.”

- Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

To become a Christian, the man must have a poetic soul, must become a poet. Christ does not want “rough” souls close to Himself. Only when the Christian loves he is a poet and lives in the poetry. The poetic souls are able to accept love, lay it in their hearts, embrace it and feel it deeply. Take advantage of the beautiful moments. The beautiful moments draw the soul out to prayer, make it sensitive, noble, poetic. Wake up in the morning to see the king – the sun going in its purple garment from the high seas... Rejoy to everything. Everything enriches us and leads us to greater Love, everything leads us to Christ.

Elder Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvitos
