Hegumen Nikon (Vorobyov)

Alms cleanses from many sins. It is not only about material charity; spiritual charity is much more valuable. It consists in the fact that a person, instead of condemning his neighbors, pity them, forgives them their sins and shortcomings, and asks God to forgive them. You should also not grumble when you endure illness or inattention of others, their coldness and so on, but speak from the bottom of your heart: "I receive what is worthy in my deeds, remember me, Lord, in Thy kingdom." - Hegumen Nikon (Vorobyov)
