Orthodox Church Quotes

• You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of one who gives and kindles joy in the heart of one who receives.

  Serafín de Sarov

• Cristo es nuestra esperanza, nuestra limpieza y santificación, nuestra resurrección, vida y reposo. Sólo Él es lo que todos necesitamos, y por eso, la Iglesia Ortodoxa pronuncia constantemente estas palabras en voz alta para que las oigamos durante los Santos Servicios de la Iglesia, y nos renovemos constantemente. Porque tenemos tendencia a olvidar lo único que necesitamos. Con la muerte todo nos será quitado, todos los bienes terrenales, las riquezas, la belleza del cuerpo y del vestido, las moradas espaciosas, etc., pero la virtud del alma, ese vestido incorruptible, permanecerá con nosotros eternamente.

  Juan de Kronstadt

• Orthodox churches, autocracy and national traditions are supposed to form a new national ideology in Russia. This would mean that Russia would be overtaken by its past, and our past would be our future.

• [Concerning] the usual contempt with which an orthodox analytic group treats all outsiders and strangers ... I urge you to think of the young psychoanalysts as your colleagues, collaborators and partners and not as spies, traitors and wayward children. You can never develop a science that way, only an orthodox church.

• The brother of my grandfather was the patriarch of the Orthodox Church and revered as a saint. So everything in my childhood is about total sacrifice, whether to religion or to communism. This is what is engraved on me. This is why I have this insane willpower. My body is now beginning to be falling apart, but I will do it to the end. I don't care. With me it is about whatever it takes.

• Basically what Salomé did with Rilke as a mentor was direct him toward the Russian Orthodox Church, so he could project his love of the divine feminine onto the Virgin Mary. She wanted him to stop the cycle of being disappointed by the ultimate humanity of women. She was like, "You don't want me, you want the Virgin Mary." It's kind of a mystical concept! She also changed Freud's opinion, a little bit too late, about the female psyche, which he had so wrong. If it had been better publicized, it would have changed Western society's perception of the female psyche, too.

• We have to separate here the church in its broad sense. We have Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox churches. The Catholic church is a corporation like a chief executive. A fairly homogenous operation. Today its attitude toward anti-Semitism is much more severe than it's ever been. The Catholic Church today is much less the problem than the other groups.

• Aesthetics is not an end in itself. But in our culture, which is becoming more multi-sensory and less respectful of God, we have a responsibility to pay attention to the design of the space where we assemble regularly. In the emerging culture, darkness represents spirituality. We see this in Buddhist temples, as well as Catholic and Orthodox churches. Darkness communicates that something serious is happening.

• Give any orthodox church the power, and to-day they would punish heresy with whip, and chain, and fire. As long as a church deems a certain belief essential to salvation, just so long it will kill and burn if it has the power.

• Hemos avanzado mucho hacia la civilización y la tolerancia religiosa, y tenemos un buen ejemplo en este país. Aquí las numerosas denominaciones protestantes, la Iglesia católica y la Iglesia ortodoxa griega no buscan destruirse unas a otras con violencia física sólo porque no interpretan cada versículo de la Biblia exactamente de la misma manera. Aquí tenemos ahora la libertad de todas las religiones, y espero que nunca más se repita el fanatismo religioso, como hemos tenido en ciertos periodos de nuestra propia historia. Aquí no hay lugar para ese tipo de tonterías.
