Fr Tryphon on Odysee

Some things must be experienced in real life because they are living realities and not just abstract ideas. The Orthodox Church is exactly that. Come join the experience yourself.

"Here is a medicine to relieve grief and every bad circumstance and every pain. What is it? To pray and to give thanks in everything. He does not wish that a prayer be merely a petition but a thanksgiving for what we have received… How can one make petitions for the future without a thankful acknowledgment of past things? ... So one ought to give thanks for everything, even what seems grievous. That is the mark of one who is truly thankful. Grief comes out of the circumstances with their demands. Thanksgiving comes from a soul that has true insight and a strong affection for God."
+ St. John Chrysostom

"Everyone has a cross to carry. Why? Since the leader of our faith endured the cross, we will also endure it. On the one hand, the cross is sweet and light, but, on the other, the cross can also be bitter and heavy. It depends on our will. If you bear Christ's cross with love then it will be very light; like a sponge or cork. But if you have a negative attitude, it becomes heavy; too heavy to lift."
Saint Ephraim of Katounakia

"I don't think about death. Whatever the Lord desires. I want to think about Christ. And you, too, open your arms and throw yourselves into Christ's embrace. Then He lives within you, and you constantly think that you don't love Him very much, and you want even more to come close to Him, and be with Him. Show disdain for passions, and don't concern yourselves with the devil. Turn to Christ. For all this to happen it is necessary for grace to come: The divine grace which ever makes good what is weak, and supplies what ls lacking."
Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

"Be careful with your mouth, but primarily with your mind; do not let evil thoughts start talking to you. Do not let your mouth say words that could perhaps wound your brother. Let your mouth put forth words which are fragrant: words of consolation, courage and hope. It is a person's mouth that reveals his interior inner man."
Elder Ephraim of Arizona

"We, who believe in the living God and whose hopes depend upon Him, ought to rejoice that we have such a Father in the heavens, Who loves us more than all fathers and mothers and Who takes infinite care to render us worthy of Him."

“The word “cross” means sufferings, sorrows and adversities. To “take up one’s cross” means to accept without complaint everything unpleasant, painful, sad, difficult and oppressive that may happen to us in life. In other words, to bear all laughter, scorn, weariness, sorrow and annoyance from others; to bear all poverty, misfortune, illness, without regarding yourself as offended. And if, when you are bearing your cross according to the will of God, a proud thought suggests to you that you are not weak like others, but that you are firm, pious and better, root out such thoughts as far as you can for they ruin all your virtues.“
Saint Innocent of Alaska

“The fear of God is when you love Him, when you truly love Him with all your heart and you strive never to offend or sadden Him—not only with your deeds, actions, and words, but also with your thoughts. You try to please Him in everything you do or say. That is the fear of God—the fear of doing anything that might sadden or offend our Parent.”
Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
