  • “Let us correct our lives in order to avoid eternal Hell and instead acquire (through God’s mercy and compassion) the Kingdom of Heaven. We must take a long, hard look at our salvation and realize that it is not a game; it is not something we can ignore; it is not a joke.”
    “May our good God enlighten each one of us and give us the strength to settle and arrange any outstanding debts. Let us exert ourselves; let us not be negligent. The present life is not a time for negligence and procrastination.”
    This homily is found in the Epilogue if “The Departure of the Soul” published by St. Anthony’s Monastery in Florence, AZ. Purchase this book here: stanthonysmonastery.org/produ...

    I think of death all the time but in an unhealthy way; I fear it. I beg God for more faith! I have OCD. Please pray for me, Elder Ephraim.

    A constant reminder of death is necessary- all too often, I forget it. Thank you, brother.

    Thank you. We do get caught up in this transient life with all it's preoccupations and attachments, and we do forget that this will all seem like a dream, when the time comes for us to actually wake up and enter eternity!.. May we all be found like the five wise virgins who were ready! 🙏☦️

    Saint Paisios the Athonite, his writings are simple and full of humility, simplicity, love, humour and joy.
    Geronda Ephraim of Arizona is a little more articulate and uses many Scriptural references and his language conveys the Gospel in more abstract ways.
