Живата връзка със светите отци



T A L M A C H
so much and simple

Живата връзка със светите отци:
Архиепископ Андрей (Рымаренко)

Без постоянна, съзнателна духовна борба православният живот може да се превърне в "оранжерия" с изкуствена атмосфера, където външните атрибути на Православието услаждат и разслабват душата, без изобщо да й въздействат, вместо да я мобилизират по пътя към спасение. Колко често даже май-добрите общини, след като са постигнали благосъстояние и известност, губят сърдечния жар и единодушие от предишните трудни години! За истински богоугодния християнски живот няма и не може да има никаква "формула на успеха"; всяка външна особеност рискува да се обърне във фалш, ако душата не върви по верния път, не трепери [благоговейно] пред Господа, не държи на първо място Неговите свети заповеди и всичко, което е Божие, във всяко време.

Love For People
/a parable/


Temporal


/ask the Lord and never think that you are He/ 

/ask and receive/

Thanks to I.M.
Translated from Russian

Parable About Love For People.

I asked the Lord to punish my enemy – and God told me:
"No. He is destined to become your best friend."
I asked
the Lord to grant me patience – and God told me:
"No. Patience is the outcome of trials. It is not conferred, one learns it."
I asked
the Lord to take away my pride – and God told me:
"No. Pride may not be taken away. One has to abandon it."
I asked
the Lord to give me happiness – and God told me:
"No. I give Blessings, and will you be happy depends on you."
I asked
the Lord to safe-keep me and my kins from pain – and God told me:
"No. We suffer and overcome suffering together."
I asked
the Lord for spiritual growth – but God told me:
"No. Spirit has to grow on its own, but I shall always prompt
help."

I asked
the Lord to help me love others as much as He loves me – and God said:
"With happiness! Oh, you have finally understood what you need to ask for."
I asked for power – and God sent me trials to harden me up.
I asked for wisdom – and God sent me problems that I need to wrestle with.
I asked for courage – and God gave me dangers.
I asked for love – and God sent me people needing my help.
I asked for goodies – and God gave me opportunities.
I have received nothing from what I've asked for.
I've received everything needful.

A Prayer Before Communion
by St Dimitry of Rostov


Open, O doors and bolts of my heart
that Christ the King of Glory may enter!
Enter, O my Light and enlighten my darkness;
enter, O my Life, and resurrect my deadness;
enter, O my Physician and heal my wounds;
enter, O Divine Fire, and burn up the thorns of my sins;
ignite my inward parts and my heart with the flame of Thy love;
enter, O my King, and destroy in me the kingdom of sin;
sit on the throne of my heart and [You] alone reign in me,
O Thou, my King and Lord.
