Author of quotes: Abbot Sava (Ostapenko)

“The Lord is my enlightenment and my Savior: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: from whom shall I be afraid? (Ps.26, 1).

Faithful to her all the time.

- Sometimes, you look - my mother has an offended, sad face. You go up to her, throw yourself at your feet, ask for forgiveness for your pranks, and your mother will become completely different. Otherwise, he will punish us, put us in a corner, and she will go to another room, kneel in front of the icons and pray with tears: “Queen of Heaven, I punished them, but I cannot fix them! You fix them yourself, as you know! " And we will look at what mom is doing, and we will feel sorry for her, and then again we ask her for forgiveness, we will also kneel down and start praying with her that the Lord would forgive us. And everything changed.

The children lived in an atmosphere of Christian love, not knowing the harsh punishments, and there was no need to punish them. Children have never had to witness screaming, swearing. Their upbringing was influenced not so much by the words of their parents as by their actions.

Live with all in peace, harmony, love, peace, respecting others, srishti to their weaknesses, do not be proud, do not envy, do not hate... for all the pray, both for himself and especially those who a burden to you, who demeans, upsets, offends you, building slander. They're evil, and you're good to them do. Anyone do not desire and do no wrong.

To anyone and get attached to nothing, otherwise you will lose God and heaven, too eager to serve, again, in the name of God. ⠀

Do more good deeds. A good deed is worth a thousand bows.

Do the strength, then you will not be annoyed and indignant. And vanity will not be. Don't resent that people do not appreciate your labors. Do it all for the Lord, and from the people do not expect praise and gratitude.

Nerves are sins. Stop sinning and nervous diseases will be held.
