Be Inspired With Hope!



St. Theophan the Recluse
(1815-1894)



“Labor with all your strength; bring to the Lord all your concerns about success. Trust in God is the foundation of spiritual life. Nothing will happen all of a sudden; everything will come about in its own time. Everything you seek with faith will come. But when? When the Lord is ready to grant it. Be patient, remaining steadfast in the ways you have begun. Be inspired with the hope that the day will come when the light of joy will glow in the heart and it will be emancipated from all bonds, bringing freedom of movement and raising you to that place where the noble images of spirit ascend. Then you will soar in the realm of the spirit like a bird that has been freed from its cage.”

“May the blessing of the Lord be upon you. May your Guardian Angel protect you from all attacks of the enemy!”






"If you are not successful in your prayer, you will not be
successful in anything, for prayer is the root of everything."
