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


Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.

St. John Chrysostom

Cemetery
Located at Holy Trinity Monastery are three large cemeteries, with one more presently under construction. Many of the faithful find great consolation in laying to rest their loved ones in the prayerful care of the Monastery with its beautiful and uplifting surroundings. Not only visitors but the monks and seminarians as well can be seen walking in the cemeteries.

The Monastery takes very seriously its duty of prayer for the departed, and at every liturgy the names of all Orthodox Christians buried within the monastery are commemorated. Several times a year a general and magnificent requiem is performed within the cemeteries for all of our brothers and sisters departed before us. Visitors are left with the impression of the strong feeling of serenity and peace within the cemeteries.
