When a man reads in a common way lines that contain great meaning, he makes his heart common and devoid of that holy power which gives the heart a most sweet taste through perceptions that awe the soul.
Everything is wont to run to its kindred; and the soul that has a share of the Spirit, on hearing a phrase that has spiritual power hidden within, ardently draws out its content for herself.
Not every man is wakened to wonder by what is said spiritually and has great power concealed in it. A word concerning virtue has need of a heart unbusied with the earth and its converse; for when a man’s mind wearies itself with care about transitory things, the concerns of virtue do not awaken his thought to a longing and a quest to gain them.
+St. Isaac the Syrian

"Fire & water are incompatible; & so is judging one who wants to repent. If you see someone falling into sin at the very moment of his death, even then do not judge him, because the Divine judgment is hidden from men." ~ St. John Climacus

"If you see a man who has sinned & you do not pity him, the grace of God will leave you. Whoever curses bad people, & does not pray for them, will never come to know the grace of God." ~ St. Silouan the Athonite

"When you feel scandalised, you should ask yourself, how many do I scandalise? In God’s name, shouldn’t I tolerate my brother or sister? How does God tolerate me with all the things I do?" ~ St. Paisios of Mount Athos

◾Palestinian Christian's celebrated the feast of cross, with family gatherings, traditional foods and sweets and most importantly ceremonies, praying for their savor Jesus Christ.
The Feast of the Cross. This day commemorates when Empress Helena discovered the Cross in 326 AD.
Palestinian Christians light up crosses above their houses all week long. To celebrate this day, they, like other Christians in the East, make fire pits on hills and peaks, with a cross in sight. The reason for lighting the fires is that when the Empress discovered the Cross, Christians and her soldiers sent word to Constantinople via fire pits, starting from the Holy Land all the way to Constantinople.
This tradition is still honored in the East by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians

☦️🕯️"The leaf that you needlessly ripped off the tree is green. This is not a sin, but you still regret it for some reason, for once the heart has learned to love, it pities every creature. Man is a great creation. If you see a man who is lost and dying, then cry and pray for him if you can, or, if you cannot, then at least sigh for him before God. The soul that does so is loved by God for it becomes like Him."🕯️☦️
