Pray for me a sinner,
Gleanings from Orthod...Hello,<br />Pray for me a sinner,<br />Gleanings from Orthodox authors and Holy fathers,<br />It is always possible to make a new start by means of repentance. 'You fell,'<br /> it is written, 'now arise' (cf. Prov. 24:16).<br /> And if you fall again,<br /> then arise again,<br /> without despairing at all of your salvation,<br /> no matter what happens.<br /> So long as you do not surrender yourself willingly to the enemy, your patient endurance,<br /> combined with self-reproach, will suffice for your salvation. ''St. Peter of Damascus'' (Book 1: A Treasury of Divine Knowledge, The Philokalia Vol. 3 pg. 170)<br /><br />A prayer to our Saints~<br />Now, therefore,<br /> know that the saints and the righteous,<br /> clothed in the Spirit, pray for us always that we may be humbled before God,<br /> and put on again the garment that we had put off,<br /> in our intellectual substance. For often also has that voice come from God the Father to all who are clothed in the Spirit,<br /> saying to them,<br /> 'Comfort, yes, comfort My people!,<br /> Says your God: Speak comfort to Jerusalem.' (Isa. 40:1-2).<br /> For God always visits His creatures,<br /> and bestows His goodness upon them. ''St. Antony the Great.''<br />Pray for me a sinner,<br />ICXC NIKA<br />eleniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
