Hello,
I ask for your prayers...
Gleanings from Orthodox authors and Holy Fathers...This is the spiritual passion [i.e., the Love of God] with which the apostles and the martyrs were inebriated. With it the first travelled the world over,
toiling and being reviled,
while the second,
although their members were severed,
and although they shed their blood like water and suffered the most dreadful torments,
yet they did not grow faint-hearted but endured courageously, and bring truly wise,
were thought fools.
Still others wandered in mountains and caves and dens of the earth,
and amid disorder they were most well-ordered.
