Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
We are far too engrossed
or to live
in things of this temporary world,
without breathing,
and thus we become Spiritually Impoverished
so too, without Humility
because no one
and our constant Prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ,
can sit on two chairs at the same time.
it is impossible for us
to master the Art of Inward Spiritual Warfare,
or to set about it
and pursue it skilfully

Precious in Thy Sight, O Christ, for

made a Spring of Blood gush out,
and after death, it drives out every

while still alive, he had battled
against even to his shedding of
blood.

revealed the Casket of Thy Relics as
a Souce of Wonders, and a River of
Gifts for mortals – granting sight to
the blind, curing leprosy, and
elephantiasis, Delivering those who
are possessed by unclean spirit from
their power, and restores their
sanity.

Mount Athos; who gathered this
Flock, and with Love raised up a
House of our Lord, and dedicated it
to the Mother of God. With Her, he
