Choose Life | Orthodox Cross and Fiery Seraphim Angel Wings | The Narrow Path | Christian Cotton Tank TopChrist explains that the narrow and sorrowful path of life preached by Him has as its natural end eternal joy, while the broad and easy path, counter to the Gospel, culminates in eternal grief, eternal torment. These are not incentives, not external pedagogical methods to force a person to act in a certain way. They are the natural results of a chosen lifestyle, which He warns against and makes abundantly clear. Archbishop Averky (Taushev)

God does not create a cross for man

a single Christ in two natures

- St Ephraim the Syrian

+ Blessed Seraphim of Platina

Are these enemies visible

and let nobody be negligent and careless in this matter

and I find myself free… For the faithful the Cross is a mighty power which delivers from all evils

The moment of death is near

survivors of the massacre of 20

Wherefore theology has given those on earth its hymns or praise in which is divinely shown forth the great excellence of its sublime illumination

inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world

and raise you from your graves
