St Iakovos Tsalikis: Spiritual Life

“We should lead the spiritual life, be obedient to our spiritual father, confess, take communion regularly, and, most important of all, avoid criticising other people. We should read spiritual books and Scripture, the Psalter, and take part in beneficial spiritual discussions..." - St Iakovos Tsalikis #orthodoxquotes #orthodoxy #christianquotes #stiakovostsalikis #stiakovostsalikisquotes #throughthegraceofgod

St Iakovos Tsalikis: God, Our Best Doctor

“When we go to doctors for treatment, we don’t tell them what to do. They know their job. All we do is tell them we’re in pain and where. Truth is given to us when we seek it humbly, as we seek a cure from a doctor. We can’t order the truth, but we can ask that it be given to us, to be revealed to us. Because the truth is God, Whom we can’t order, only ask from Him and love Him..." - St Iakovos Tsalikis #orthodoxquotes #orthodoxy #christianquotes #stiakovostsalikis #stiakovostsalikisquotes

St. David the Righteous of Euboea (Evia)

Elder Iakovos Tsalikis (of blessed memory), was drawn to the monastery of St. David (originally built by him in 1540), where he stayed, became a grace-filled spiritual father, helped many people, and also renovated and renewed the monastery through the intercessions of St. David. Thus both St. David and the blessed Elder Iakovos have made the Monastery of St. David in Euboea a great pilgrimage of Greece.
