Faith in the Lord and their mutual support in difficult moments helped the Imperial Family overcome all their ordeals with dignity and courageously accept their martyrdom.
Monk Pimen (Vlad)
God gave us time on earth so that we could prepare for eternity that never ends.
Alexandra Kalinovskaya
By the end of his abbacy at St. Panteleimon’s, the monastery included more than 1,000 brethren. Fr. Makary himself led a strict life of fasting and asceticism to the end of his days, serving as an example for everyone who knew him.
"He was meek and forbearing; he could bear all our infirmities in such a way that I’ve never seen such a meek and patient man in all my life, and he was perfect in all virtues; he taught us not in words, but in all things he showed us and was an example for us."
Priest Nicolas Francois Xavier
At first, I did not understand the meaning of all the words, but once during prayer the Lord said to me: “Hear this praise. I am adored, revered, and praised. Just listen to the praise! Praise ascends to Me!” and I have found a nation that loves God and honors God because He is merciful, because He is omnipresent, because He is love.
