“'We were created for eternal life by our Creator, we are called to it by the word of God, and we are renewed by holy Baptism. And Christ the Son of God came into the world for this, that He should call us and take us there, and He is the one thing needful. For this reason your very first endeavor and care should be to receive it. Without it everything is as nothing, though you have the whole world under you.'” WorldLoveShouldFirstsReasonWholeTruthCarePeaceChristOne ThingSonHolyEternalCreatorWhole WorldEndeavorWord Of GodEternal LifeBaptism Author:Tikhon of Zadonsk
“My poor soul! Sigh, pray and strive to take upon you the blessed yoke of Christ, and you will live on earth in a heavenly manner. Lord, grant that I may carry the light and goodly yoke, and I shall be always at rest, peaceful, glad and joyous; and I shall taste on earth of crumbs which fall from the celestial feast, like a dog that feeds upon the crumbs which fall from the master's table.” MaySoulLightEarthChristianFallChristPoorLordDogMastersPrayingTasteTablesBlessedStriveGladPeacefulHeavenlyOrthodoxGrantsSighJoyousCelestialYokeCrumbs Author:Tikhon of Zadonsk
