Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
9/5/22, 06:00 AM


Our life is not arranged arbitrarily, but by Divine Providence. Peace is acquired by cutting off your will. It is impossible to find complete satisfaction. The Lord does not demand the impossible from us, and the fulfillment of the commandments of God is possible everywhere and always. Seeing a person forcing himself to piety in a certain place and situation, according to his strength, and his readiness, the Lord fulfills his desire for good.

Venerable Nikon of Optina
Living without Hypocrisy
