More quotes by Seraphim of Sarov
Establish yourself in God and then you will be helpful to others.
Seraphim of Sarov
Can one, seeing the sun with one's sensuous eyes, not rejoice? But how much more joyful it is when the mind sees with its inner eye the Sun of justice, Christ! Then in truth one rejoices with angelic joy of this the Apostle too said: 'Our conversation is in heaven' (Phil. 3:20).
Seraphim of Sarov
Whatever you do, do it gently and unhurriedly, because virtue is not a pear to be eaten in one bite.
Seraphim of Sarov
...it is up to us to add labors to labors in order to go from strength to strength (Ps. 83:7), and to come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13)?
Seraphim of Sarov
The true aim of our Christian life consists in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God.
Seraphim of Sarov
You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of one who gives and kindles joy in the heart of one who receives.
Seraphim of Sarov
The body is a slave, the soul a sovereign, and therefore it is due to Divine mercy when the body is worn out by illness: for thereby the passions are weakened, and a man comes to himself indeed, bodily illness itself is sometimes caused by the passions.
Seraphim of Sarov
... only the good deed done for Christ's sake brings us the fruits of the Holy Spirit. All that is not done for Christ's sake, even though it be good, brings neither reward in the future life nor the grace of God in this life. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said: 'He who gathers not with Me scatters' (Lk. 11:23).
Seraphim of Sarov
Every success in anything we should refer to the Lord and with the Prophet say: 'Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory' (Ps. 113:9).
