ΣΤΙΓΙΜΙΟΤΥΠΟ “ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ”: Διακόνημα στην κουζίνα

Obedience is necessary not only for monks, but for all people. Even the Lord was obedient, unto death on the cross. The proud and self-regarding do not allow grace to live within them, and therefore they lack spiritual peace, while in the obedient soul the grace of the Holy Spirit enters easily and brings great joy and peace. Whoever bears even a little grace in himself joyfully submits himself to all direction. He knows that God directs everything from the heavens to the netherworld, himself and his business, and everything other thing in the world, and therefore he is always at peace.
