Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. ( Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica )

Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. 

If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.


Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

 Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives: The Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Cleansing our heart ( Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica )

Strong faith in a man's heart both requires and produces prayer, and a prayer life of many years produces love.

The goal of our life is nothing other than cleansing our heart to such an extent that is able to sing with joy.

Thus, prayer of the heart leads to joy of the heart. Nothing is difficult for a joyful person, because he has love.

Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
