Leonid Mikhailovich Chichagov
(9 June1856, St.Petersburg – 11 December 1937, Moscow). Seraphim was the Metropolitan of the Diocese of Leningrad and Gdov between 1928 and 1933. Influenced by Fr. John of Kronstadt, he became a monk after serving in the Russian army.

"Humble self-knowledge is much more important, difficult and glorious than high knowledge of sciences. The conquest and mortification of one's lusts and passions, no matter how insignificant they may be, deserve greater praise than the capture of many fortresses, the defeat of hordes…
Thus, spiritual work destroys ignorance of the mind, which is so dangerous for man."

Saint Sergiy Mechev
Holy Martyr

Sergei (Sergius) Alekseevich Mechev
(September (17) 30, 1892, Moscow - January 6, 1942, Yaroslavl) - archpriest, fourth child of Archpriest Alexei Mechev, saint of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Throughout his life, Saint Sergiy Mechev was a good shepherd to his flock, a beloved head of a church parish, and also an outstanding and unwavering witness of Christ who remained steadfast in his faith, ultimately rising to the highest form of service to Him, the feat of martyrdom.

Not only by bowing to the icon of the Savior Himself do we give honor to Him, but similarly, by honoring His holy saints and their icons, we in their person give honor to the same Prototype – God, in whose image they were created, to whom they became like.

Share your warmth and light with those around you; try to begin with your family and work on that. Soon this work will entice you so much that your family circle will become too narrow for you. Then the halo of your warm rays will gradually grow, illuminating more and more people; so try to keep your lamp burning bright.

Alexander Vasilievich Mileant (+2005) bishop of Buenos Aires of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.
Bishop Alexander is well known for his missionary leaflets. From 1985 to 2005 Bishop Alexander published a total of 763 brochures: 300 in Russian, 192 in English, 168 in Spanish and 103 in Portuguese.

The word Gospel  means good message or news. This name designates the first four books of the New Testament which narrate the life and teachings of the incarnate Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ – all He did to establish a virtuous way of life on earth and to save sinful mankind.
The more we read the Gospels, the stronger our faith becomes and the more clearly we see the purpose of our earthly existence. Also as we acquire more experience in spiritual matters, we begin to perceive more obviously the nearness of our Savior. Then He truly becomes our Good Shepherd Who leads us toward salvation.
Indeed, while all other books contain the opinions of mere mortals, the Gospels reveal to us the eternal.

Begin and end each day with prayer. This is joy and life for the soul. Look at a candle: the fire always strives upward, not downward; the wind may shake it, tilt it to the side, but it will turn upward again. So the soul always strives for God: this is its prayer. The corrupting breath of the vain world may disturb it, lead it astray, but in silence it again turns to heaven. Fortunately for you!

Hieromartyr Vladimir Bogoyavlensky

Vasily Nikiforovich Bogoyavlensky (1 January 1848,  Tambov Governorate – 7 February [O.S. January 25] 1918, Kiev, USSR) - bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. He was appointed to the position of Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna between 1898 and 1912, Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga between 1912 and 1915, and the Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia between 1915 and 1918.
He was Chairman (the leading member) of the Most Holy Synod (1912–1917).

The best inheritance that parents can give their children is a good upbringing. It is of far greater value than all the riches and blessings of the earth.
First of all, teach your children to obey you for God's sake. Suppress their willfulness from the earliest times. Do not give them everything they demand from you, on the contrary, teach them self-restraint and restraint. Demand from them the quickest and most precise obedience, teach them to fulfill your will at your first word.

Nikon Optinsky  hieromonk

Nikolai Mitrofanovich Belyaev (September 26, 1888, Moscow — July 8, 1931, Kozlovo village, Pinezhsky district) was a clergyman of the Russian Orthodox Church, the last confessor of Optina Pustyn, he was destined to survive the closure and ruin of the monastery.

It is difficult to say what is better – to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ rarely or often. Zacchaeus joyfully received the dear Guest, the Lord, into his home – and he did well. But the centurion, out of humility, recognizing his unworthiness, did not dare to receive – and he also did well. And they appeared before the Lord equally worthy. The point is to worthily prepare oneself for the great Mystery.

When you, amidst the cares of life, amidst the vanities of this world, amidst the struggle of our hearts with passions, or even amidst the most sinful deeds, feel drawn to prayer: then know that this drawing is the gentle voice of your merciful Savior, calling you to repentance and turning to Him as the only source of our life and bliss.

Il est aussi malséant pour les serviteurs de la chair et du ventre d'explorer le domaine spirituel que pour une femme de mauvaise vie de parler de chasteté. Le feu ne prend pas au bois humide ; la chaleur divine ne s'allume pas dans un coeur amoureux de la quiétude terrestre.

Église Orthodoxe Russe Hors Frontières : Métropolite Philaret

Georgy Nikolayevich Voznesensky (22 March 1903 Kursk, Russia – 21 November 1985, New York City, USA) the First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.
The spiritual legacy of Metropolitan Philaret includes sermons, talks, teachings and “A Summary of Moral Theology"

Orthodox Christianity cannot limit its concept of the truly beautiful only to what pleases our sense of beauty by the elegance of its form, but must see as truly beautiful all that is morally valuable. True beauty always elevates, ennobles, enlightens man's soul and sets before it the ideals of truth and good. An Orthodox Christian never acknowledges as beautiful that phenomenon or work of art, which even though it be of perfect execution, does not purify and enlighten man's soul but rather debases and soils it.
