Instructions of St. Gabriel Urgebadze


1. When your Faith is scolded in front of you and you are silent, you are worse than that detractor.

2. It is better to be a fornicator a hundred times than a heretic.

3. When it is necessary to defend the Faith and you do not do it, your soul perishes; and if you die defending the Faith, you will end up in the Kingdom of Heaven.

4. Ecumenism is a super-heresy.

5. The Orthodox Church is a ship sailing on a stormy ocean. We, the Orthodox, are on this ship, while people of other confessions are sailing on their own.

6. The confessor must be chosen at will, and having chosen, already obey. But if the confessor teaches heresy, run away from him as from fire.

7. Woe to the monk or nun who does not get sick about the ailments of his people.

8. A good monk should have a sensitive heart, like a woman's.

9. A monk must do physical work, otherwise he will lose heart.

10. Monastics should live in simplicity. Simplicity is the grace of God.

11. A monk must be firm, and defend the truth because the truth is God Himself.

12. A monk, like a roaring lion, must defend Orthodoxy.

13. Monasticism is an angelic order. To achieve perfection, one must pass through the fire of temptations.

14. More heroism than monasticism, no.

15. If monks do not have humility and repentance, then they will not be saved but will perish.

16. Monasticism is a struggle to the last breath, striving for God to the death.

17. If a layman overcomes his passions for the sake of Christ, he will be equated with monks.

18. Death is a transformation. Don't be afraid of death - be afraid of the Judgment of God. Imagine how your heart beats when you stand in an exam in front of a professor. How much more terrible it is to stand before God at the Judgment! The greatness of God is incomparable to anything.

19. Only with a heart full of love can one rebuke the sins of another person.

20. Whoever learns to love will be happy. Just do not think that love is an innate talent. Love can be learned and we must do it.

21. Live in such a way that not only God loves you, but people love you too - there is nothing more than this.

22. In recent times, people have been saved by love, humility, and kindness. Kindness will open the gates of Paradise, humility will lead there, and love will show God.

23. The Lord shows someone else's misfortune to soften our hearts.

24. God will return to you a hundred times more than what you spent doing good deeds.

25. Help a poor person - this will be your sacrifice to God.

26. Everyone should wish for good, but to do good, wisdom is required.

27. When you do good, you go up one step, and when you sin, you go down. Our whole life is such a movement.

28. How will the soul be calm when the neighbor is in danger? If you have a sick person at home and there is no one to take care of him, it is better not to go to Church, to stay at home.

29. It is a blessed work to feed pigeons and other birds.

30. When you eat food, remember the hungry, the thirsty, and the afflicted.

31. If you have been slandered, if you have responded to good with evil, do not hold evil. Forgive and rejoice, because thanks to this you have come a few steps closer to God.

32. Products that have the number of the Antichrist cannot harm us. It is not yet a seal. It is necessary to say the prayer "Our Father", to cross, and sprinkle with holy water - and in this way, all food will be sanctified.

33. In the last time, the supporters of the antichrist will go to church, will be baptized, and will preach the gospel commandments. But do not believe those who will not have good works. Only by deeds can a true Christian be known.

as 666 nets. In the time of the Antichrist, people will be waiting for salvation from outer space. This will be the biggest trick of the devil: humanity will ask for help from aliens, not knowing that they are demons.

Σε αυτές τις δύο εικόνες υπάρχει μία βαπτισμένη Χριστιανή που είναι γεμάτη με το Άγιο ΑΚΤΙΣΤΟ ΦΩΣ τη στιγμή της Βάπτισής της, όπως φαίνεται...
