“Our Father awaits us with great zeal and desire, and with love He will see us returning from afar, and He will look upon us with compassionate eyes, and we shall be dear to Him, and He will fall on our neck running and embrace us and kiss us with His Holy Love. He will not reproach us, and He will no longer remember our sins and iniquities, and all the holy angles and all His elect will begin to rejoice over us.” LoveLooksEyeRunningRememberDesireFallFatherPeaceSinHolyKissingEmbraceDearLook UpNecksCompassionateRejoiceAngleOur FatherZealReproachAfarIniquity Author:Tikhon of Zadonsk
“We see the water of a river flowing uninterruptedly and passing away, and all that floats on its surface, rubbish or beams of trees, all pass by. Christian! So does our life. . .I was an infant, and that time has gone. I was an adolescent, and that too has passed. I was a young man, and that too is far behind me. The strong and mature man that I was is no more. My hair turns white, I succumb to age, but that too passes; I approach the end and will go the way of all flesh. I was born in order to die. I die that I may live. Remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom!” MenWayMayDoeEndsAgeChristianRememberSpiritualYoungOrderDiesTurnsStrongWaterBornWhiteBehindsLordGoneOur LivesTreeHairApproachRiversSurfaceFleshPassingKingdomsPassingsYoung ManOrthodoxMatureInfantFloatsOrthodox ChristianBeamPassing AwayRubbishRemember Me Author:Tikhon of Zadonsk
