Elder Gabriel:
“If an upset man smiles, this immediately brings him into heaven.
An Arab proverb says that who sweetly speaks can breastfeed even lions.

In order to have the blessing of God we have to confess often and go to Church often.
Pray without ceasing, “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me! Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”
Fast on Wednesdays and Fridays without oil and on other days that the Holy Church establishes.

We should do at least a little charity towards a poor family…”
