A WORD FROM THE FATHERS

“To have faith is to die for Christ and for His commandments; to believe that His death brings life; to regard poverty as wealth, and lowliness and humiliation as true glory; to believe that by not possessing anything, one possesses everything.”

St. Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022 A.D.)

“All of this means that if we are seeking the truth of the world, the reason, logic, and integrity that underlie the world, we are in fact seeking the one in whom all things hold together, the one in whom we live and move and have our existence, the one by whom the universe came to be – Jesus Christ.”

Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service: Grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Faith originates in love; love in contemplation. It is impossible not to love Christ. If we saw Him now, we should not be able to take our eyes off Him, we should ‘listen to Him in rapture’: we should flock round Him as did the multitudes in the Gospels. All that is required of us is not to resist. We have only to yield to Him, to the contemplation of His image – in the Gospels, in the Saints, in the Church – and He will take possession of our hearts.  
Alexander Elchaninov.
