Holy Trinity Monastery - Kursk Icon Visits Holy Trinity Monastery



Home \| Bookstore \| Icon Studio \| Seminary

Do we forgive our neighbors their trespasses? God also forgives us in His mercy. Do we refuse to forgive? God, too, will refuse to forgive us. As we treat our neighbors, so also does God treat us. The forgiveness, then, of your sins or unforgiveness, and hence also your salvation or destruction, depend on you yourself, man. For without forgiveness of sins there is no salvation. You can see for yourself how terrible it is.

St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

Never confuse the person, formed in the image of God, with the evil that is in him: because evil is but a chance misfortune, an illness, a devilish attack. But the very essence of the person is the image of God, and this remains in him despite every disfigurement.

St. John of Kronstadt

Kursk Icon Visits Holy Trinity Monastery

On Sunday January 24 the Kursk Root
Icon was brought to the Monastery by Archpriest Sergei Lukianov. The
icon was met by the brotherhood and laity in the evening and a moleben
and Akathist was served in the Monastery's cathedral. Following the
service Fr Serge gave a moving presentation in the seminary hall of the
icon's visit to Russia. May the Mother of God help us and bless the
efforts of Fr Serge in taking the icon to as many parishes as possible
for the edification of the faithful.
