Spiritual Pearl - Quote

Spiritual Pearl: St. Paul to the Romans

By

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulations worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.”

St. Paul to the Romans 5:1-5

Spiritual Pearl: St. John of Kronstadt – Be As The Lord

By

“If you have Christian love for your neighbor, then all heaven will love you; if you have union of spirit with your fellow-creatures, then you shall have union with God and all the dwellers of heaven; if you are merciful to your neighbor, then God and all the Angels and Saints will be merciful to you; and if you pray for others, then all heaven will intercede for you. The Lord our God is holy, be so yourself also.”

St. John of Kronstadt
“My Life in Christ”

Spiritual Pearl: Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic

By

“A scholar attracts by his knowledge, a wealthy man by riches, a handsome man by beauty, an artist by his skill. Each of these attracts a limited number of individuals. Only love attracts all human beings. The attraction of love is unlimited. And educated or uneducated, rich or poor, skilled or unskilled, beautiful or ugly, healthy or sick, and young or old – all want to be loved. Christ spread His love on everyone, and lovingly drew all to Himself. With His great love he encompassed even the dead, long decomposed and forgotten by men.”
