"It is foolish to think that wealth or abundance, or even moderate means would be advantageous or possibly reassuring. The rich worry even more than the poor and impoverished. Poverty and being in want are closer to humility and to salvation if only one who is poor does not become fainthearted, but with faith and hope relies on the all-good Providence of God. Until this day the Lord has fed us, and He has the power to do so in the future.

Abundance and plenty can spoil people. As they say, even animals can become crazy from being too fat."
St. Ambrose of Optina

"All of life is a wondrous mystery, known to God alone. There are no incidental chains of events in life - everything is providential. We don't understand the meaning of one or another circumstance - there are many boxes before us, but no keys to them. Take note of the events in your life. There is a profound meaning in everything. Now they're incomprehensible to you, but later much will be revealed..."
St. Barsanuphius of Optina

Troparion — Tone 4
Like a radiant star, you shone from east to west, / for after leaving your homeland, you reached the region of Vyatka, and the God-protected city of Khlynov, / where you established a Monastery for the glory of the Most Holy Theotokos. / There you gathered a multitude of monks, directing them to the path of salvation. / You were a converser with Angels and a colleague of Fasters, / O Venerable Tryphon. / With them, entreat Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

“When I see an orphan in the street, dirty, hungry and in tatters, I do not ask him who he is—Jewish, Russian, Chinese. Before me is an unfortunate, hungry child who needs to be fed, clothed and comforted. He is a person and a member of the human race.”
St. Jonah of Hankou

"Do not be greatly disturbed by the arrangement of your fate. Have only the unwavering desire for salvation and, standing before God, await His help until the time comes."

“In our prayer, we should ask only for the salvation of our soul. Didn't the Lord say, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you’ (Matt. 6:33)? Easily, without the slightest difficulty, Christ can give us what we want. And remember the secret. The secret is not to think about asking for the specific thing at all. The secret is to ask for your union with Christ with utter selflessness, without saying, ‘Give me this’ or ‘give me that.’ It suffices to say, ‘Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.’ God has no need to be informed by us about our various needs. He knows them all incomparably better than we do and He gives us His love. What is important is for us to respond to this love with prayer and with the keeping of His commandments. We should ask for the will of God to be done. That is what is in our best interest and the safest thing for us and for those for whom we pray. Christ will give us everything abundantly. When there is even a trace of egotism, nothing happens.”
- St. Porphyrios

“...You have to hold onto the spirit. The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (II Cor. 3:6). If in monasticism one sees only the form, then it's not just hard to live, but horrible. Hold fast to the spirit. Look at what unbelief, nihilism, and carrion there is in the seminaries and theological academies. And this is all because it's all just cramming without feeling or meaning. The revolution in Russia proceeded from the seminaries. To a seminarian it's strange and incomprehensible to go to church alone, stand off to the side, weep and come to a state of compunction - to him this is wild. For a high school student such a thing is possible, but not with a seminarian. The letter kills.”
St. Barsanuphius of Optina
