Darkness departs and light appears. Pride is darkness, but humility is light.” MenWayGivingDoeLightGrowsDarknessHumilityPrideOppositesRetreat 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
