Jesus, forever
|
|
Faith may languish;
creeds may be changed; churches may be dissolved. But one
cannot imagine the time when Jesus will not be the image of
perfection. He can never be superseded. He can never be
exceeded. |
|
To
pray |
|
To pray is to seek communion with the very spirit of a
holy God. To pray is not primarily to ask for things,
but reverently to receive a Presence. To pray is to open
our innermost self to the royal entry of the eternal
Lord. To pray is to expose one's secret being to the
purifying fires of God's holy grace and love. |
|
The Dormition Fast
|
|
Christians of the first
centuries always prepared themselves for great feasts
with fasting and prayer. Beginning on August1, extending
to august 14, we prepare ourselves for the greatest of
all the Marian feasts - the holy Dormition of most holy
Theotokos. In this manner, we imitate the fasting
and prayers of Mary by which she prepared herself for
her encounter with her Divine Son and her holy Dormition,
falling asleep and assumption into heaven. |

The
love of Christ controls us
|
|
Giving to
God depends on only one thing love. God so loved the world
the He gave His Son. The Christian gives too because He
loves. We
give to God not out of a sense of duty. We give out of
something higher than duty. We give because we love.
"The love of Christ controls us", writes St. Paul.
When the love of Christ is the controlling force in our
lives, it is easy to give sacrificially, to pray daily, to
come to church every Sunday, to witness, to help our
neighbor. But when the love of Christ is not the motivating
force in our lives, then all these actions become unpleasant
duties. as love makes it easy for a mother to watch over a
sick child, so love counts it joy for us to labor, to
suffer, to give for our blessed Master. Whoever has a heart
full of love always has something to give.
