Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

“The transcendent power of the eternal, timeless God, manifest in the Passion of Christ, is the same power that upholds all creation, so that the Cross is, indeed, the axis mundi, the still, eternal or timeless, axis around which the world rotates.”
~John Behr
Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year, and the way we are closest to G-d. It’s the day of atonement, “for on this day He will forgive you, purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G-d” (Leviticus 16:30).
We abstain from food and drink for nearly twenty-six hours, from sunset on 9 Tishrei to nightfall of 10 Tishrei. It is the most solemn day of the year, and yet it was an undertone of joy that revels in the spirituality of the day, and expresses confidence that G-d will accept our repentance, forgive our sins, and seal our verdict for a year of life, health, and happiness.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Rev. 3:20-21)

I hate not feeling like me, I hate not having the energy I need to be me, I hate not having the energy to be the father the kids need me to be, I hate the constant state of pain I am in. I wonder if these things will ever cease these constant states of lack? These constans states of pain and anguish. I wonder if the only way this will all stop is if I end it. But oh no there’s that ideation again that deadly ever so easy hole to fall into where I obsess over death and the things to come. Is it death that intrigues me or the absence of feeling. I think some days it’s the later of the two but then I find myself in its grips not being able to walk into croweded buisness even though I know There are responsabilities in those doors that need tending too. OHH well just another failure just another notch in the belt of self pity.
THE WELCOMING PRAYER:
Praying with the Instinctive Body Center Just about every one of us carries some of our guilt or shame, anxiety or distress, and frustration or anger in our bodies. If you simply pause for a moment, close your eyes, find your breath (even just a few slow, deep, and deliberate breaths begin to restore your nervous system), and scan your body for any uncomfortable sensations, I’m certain you’ll notice something. It may be the “butterflies” or the irritation in your stomach. Perhaps it’s the tightness in your chest when you concentrate on your breathing. Maybe it’s the knots in your upper back and shoulders. Sometimes it’s the tension at the base of your neck. Many people hardly notice that their jaw aches a bit from grinding their teeth while sleeping. Others may feel a little pressure in their temples or they’ve learned to live with temporary tension headaches. More often than not, these somatic discomforts are trying to get our attention. And I believe most of them can be directly tied to the Basic Fears or the most accessible emotion of the Intelligence Center of our Enneagram type. I know for myself that a knot colonizes the space right behind the bottom of my right shoulder blade. When I stop to recognize it and listen to what it’s trying to tell me, I usually can discern that it shows up when I feel frustrated or angry about not being in control of a situation. The Welcoming Prayer helps us pray with these somatic flare-ups in our bodies. It is a method of actively letting go of thoughts and feelings that support the compulsions and addictions of the Basic Fears and Childhood Wounds that keep each Enneagram type’s Fixation and Passion looped together. Developed by Mary Mrozowski, one of the founders of Contemplative Outreach, the Welcoming Prayer invites God to dismantle the emotional programs for happiness to which we’ve attached ourselves and to help heal the emotional wounds we’ve stored in our bodies. The method of the Welcoming Prayer includes noticing your feelings, emotions, and thoughts, as well as the sensations in your body, welcoming them, and then letting them go. When you have an overly emotional experience in daily life, take a moment to be still and silent and follow these steps:
1. Focus on, feel, and sink into the feelings, emotions, thoughts, sensations, and commentaries in your body. Find your tension, tightness, soreness, or pressure and acknowledge it.
2. Welcome God into the feelings, emotions, thoughts, sensations, or commentaries in your body. Pray with your somatic discomfort; ask what it is telling you about your fear or your sense of being out of control or your lack of trust or your anxiety.
3. When the intensity of the body sensation or emotion begins to subside, let go by repeating the following sentences: “I let go of the desire for security/ affection/ control.” “I let go of the desire to change this feeling/ sensation.” As you pray, recognize that God is with you. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen your relationship with God by giving you an opportunity to consent to God’s healing presence and action in the ordinary activities of daily life, thereby equipping you to respond skillfully to life’s circumstances rather than react to them out of fear, shame, or frustration.
Repost from @savastyanov71 using @RepostRegramApp - Среди православных бытует мнение, что многие современные фильмы, сериалы, книги, комиксы имеют бесовское происхождение и для христианони неприемлемы. К сожалению, многие священнослужители и активные миряне продвигают эту точку зрения!!
⠀
Под эту критику попадают фэнтезийные и фантастические произведения, а также и другие продукты массовой культуры.
Многим кажется, что просмотр, к примеру, "Мстителей" вреден для православных, но это абсолютно не верно. Любой фильм, сериал и даже книга происходят в своём выдуманном созданном мире, или вселенной, законы которой не связаны с нашими, что по сути является современной сказкой.
⠀
Каждому из нас родители читали в детстве народные сказки, но, как правило, сказки это переработанная языческая мифология. В сказках присутствуют языческие боги, а так же элементы языческого культа, но самое главное в них сюжет или история, которая учит человека любви и добру, и это ни в коем случае не противоречит Христианству. Так, что в этом плане подобные фильмы и книги не должны смущать нас. Из них мы можем вынести хорошие примеры христианских ценностей для проповеди молодым людям!!
⠀
Но, что делать, если в фильмах или книгах происходит глумление над Христом и Церковью?
Таких фильмов/книг , Слава Богу, немного, и они обычно не направлены на массовую аудиторию. Но даже это можно смотреть/читать, чтобы мы знали аргументы богоборцев и смогли дать им ответ! Но на такой подвиг лучше получить благословение духовника.
⠀
Хочу отметить, что во всем можно найти хорошее и употребить это на пользу Богу, себе и людям!! И старайтесь избегать фанатизма в желании сжечь книги и уничтожить фильмы сериалы. Помните, что даже Священное Писание можно употребить во зло человечеству! Например,идеологи нацизма опирались на Библию!!
⠀
Стоит помнить, что все мы грешны, и часто некоторые произведения пытаются пропагандировать греховное поведения, если это может пошатнуть вашу духовную жизнь, то лучше этого избегать. Но не навязывайте свое мнение окружающим, возможно они это видят по-другому. Старайтесь показать разницу между грехом и добродетелью, а для этого больше молитесь, читайте и смотрите фильмы! ⠀
Помоги Вам Христос!!

А что думаете об этом Вы?
