That all the animate and inanimate creation should raise us to God ( Elder Paisios )
"If one does not approach the spiritual life in this way, if one does not see God in everything he does, then he will be still far from God, even if you place him in the Church. Give him hymns of the Church to chant, and he will still be far from God. Give him a spiritual book to read, and - again - he will be far from God. Whatever spiritual things you give him to do, it will not lead him to God."
Elder Paisios
