GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST // GLORY FOREVER.

[g0chujaangg]

and in a life so full and surrounded by death, it was a blessing that Christ conquered it. I wish all of us as a society could understand the story of Christ's resurrection better. It's a victory.

God's Saints are near to believing hearts, and, like the truest and kindest of friends, they are ready at a moment's notice to help the faithful and pious who call upon them with faith and love.

I spoke with the Hieromonk (priest-monk) at my Church about my suicidal thoughts. And he told me that therapists, psychologists, support workers etc are all manifestations of God's love for us. That we should try and make use of these supports for our troubles. Sometimes because of our brokenness, we need other people to come in and help us out. Yes, we should turn to God in prayer for help. But we are also commanded to love one another and help one another. And I think that's a really beautiful way of looking at support systems.

Remembering a sin we have committed does not mean that the sin has not been forgiven. This remembrance of our sins is only a warning to us lest we become proud and sin again. In fact, we--not God--are the ones who cannot forgive ourselves. We cannot forgive ourselves because of our pride. A genuine sign that a sin has been forgiven is the fact that it has not been repeated, and we are at peace.

One should preach not from one's rational mind but rather from the heart. Only that which is from the heart can touch another heart.

Do not be slothful in praying fervently for others at their request, or on your own initiative, whether on your own or together with them, for you will obtain a recompense from God--the grace of God in your heart, which shall give you joy and strengthen you in faith and love for God and your neighbor. These words are true; they are taken from experience. In general, we do not pray very willingly for others, but more out of obligation and habit, and without our heart fully participating in the prayer. We must force ourselves to pray with our whole heart, with great faith, with great boldness, so that we may obtain great and rich mercy from the bountiful and greatly beneficent God!

My Life in Christ by Saint John of Kronstadt

We must love our neighbor even more when he sins against God or against ourselves, because then he is sick, because then he is in spiritual misfortune and danger, then, especially, we must have compassion upon him, pray for him, and apply to his heart a protective bandage--a word of kindness, instruction, reproval, consolation, forgiveness, love. "Forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you" (Eph 4:32).
