Tikhon of Zadonsk Quotes

• Es terrible odiar a quien Dios ha amado. Mirar a otro, sus debilidades, sus pecados, sus faltas, sus defectos, es mirar a alguien que sufre. Sufre por las pasiones negativas, por la misma corrupción humana pecaminosa que tú sufres. Esto es muy importante: no le mires con ojos críticos de comparación, observando los pecados que supones que tú nunca cometerías. Más bien, míralo como a un compañero de sufrimiento, un ser humano que necesita la misma curación que tú necesitas. Ayúdale, quiérele, reza por él, haz con él lo que te gustaría que él hiciera contigo.

• 'We were created for eternal life by our Creator, we are called to it by the word of God, and we are renewed by holy Baptism. And Christ the Son of God came into the world for this, that He should call us and take us there, and He is the one thing needful. For this reason your very first endeavor and care should be to receive it. Without it everything is as nothing, though you have the whole world under you.'

• Evita entrometerte en los asuntos de los demás, pues tal intromisión da ocasión a calumnias, juicios y otros pecados graves. ¿Por qué debes preocuparte por los demás? Conoce y examina tu propio yo.

• When pride retreats from a man, humility begins to dwell in him, and the more pride is diminished, so much more does humility grow. The one gives way to the other as to its opposite. Darkness departs and light appears. Pride is darkness, but humility is light.

• As fire is not extinguished by fire, so anger is not conquered by anger, but is made even more inflamed. But meekness often subdues even the most beastly enemies, softens them and pacifies them.

• Many flatter themselves and consider themselves to be good, humble, and meek, but they will discover the contrary under temptation. Do not not become despondent in temptations, then, but give all the more thanks to God that He thus brings you to what is hidden in your heart - the knowledge of yourself - and wishes you to be corrected and be saved.

• We see the water of a river flowing uninterruptedly and passing away, and all that floats on its surface, rubbish or beams of trees, all pass by. Christian! So does our life. . .I was an infant, and that time has gone. I was an adolescent, and that too has passed. I was a young man, and that too is far behind me. The strong and mature man that I was is no more. My hair turns white, I succumb to age, but that too passes; I approach the end and will go the way of all flesh. I was born in order to die. I die that I may live. Remember me, O Lord, in Thy Kingdom!

• Our Father awaits us with great zeal and desire, and with love He will see us returning from afar, and He will look upon us with compassionate eyes, and we shall be dear to Him, and He will fall on our neck running and embrace us and kiss us with His Holy Love. He will not reproach us, and He will no longer remember our sins and iniquities, and all the holy angles and all His elect will begin to rejoice over us.

• ¿Nos negamos a perdonar? También Dios se negará a perdonarnos. Como tratamos a nuestro prójimo, así nos trata Dios a nosotros. El perdón o la falta de perdón de tus pecados, pues, y por tanto también tu salvación o tu destrucción, dependen de ti mismo. Porque sin perdón de los pecados no hay salvación. Puedes ver por ti mismo lo serio que es.

• My poor soul! Sigh, pray and strive to take upon you the blessed yoke of Christ, and you will live on earth in a heavenly manner. Lord, grant that I may carry the light and goodly yoke, and I shall be always at rest, peaceful, glad and joyous; and I shall taste on earth of crumbs which fall from the celestial feast, like a dog that feeds upon the crumbs which fall from the master's table.
