“Remember that each of us has his own cross. The Golgotha of this cross is our heart: it is being lifted or implanted through a zealous determination to live according to the Spirit of God. Just as salvation of the world is by the Cross of God, so our salvation is by our crucifixion on our own cross.” WorldHeartRememberSpiritDeterminationCrossesSalvationCrucifixionSpirit Of GodZealousGolgotha Author:Theophan the Recluse
“If you want to attain salvation, learn and keep in your heart all that the holy Church teaches and, receiving heavenly power from the mysteries of the Church, walk the path of Christ's commandments, under the direction of lawful pastors, and you will undoubtedly attain the Heavenly Kingdom and be saved. All of this is naturally necessary in the matter of salvation, necessary in it entirety and for all. Whoever rejects or neglects any part of it has no salvation.” IfsWantInspirationalHeartMatterChristianChristChurchReligiousWalksTeachPathMysteryHolySalvationSavedKingdomsHeavenlyRejectsOrthodoxNeglectReceivingCommandmentsPastorEntirety Author:Theophan the Recluse
