“And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.””

— Mary’s Song of Praise: The Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55

As a person that teaches Sunday School I feel that I can say this is 100% in character for both Moses and God.

For all the Orthodox today who are tired of explaining, the Simpsons did it first.

May your mind fast from vain thoughts. Let the memory of grudge be fasted. May your will fast from an evil desire. Let your eyes fast from a bad vision: turn your eyes away so as not to see fuss (Psalm 118, 37). Let your ears fast from bad songs and whisperings of slanderous ones. May your language fast from slander, condemnation, blasphemy, lies, flattery, profanity and every idle and rotten word. Let your hands fast from the throbbing and plunder of another’s good. Let your feet fast from walking to an evil deed. Evade evil and do good (1 Peter 3:11). This is the Christian fast that God requires of us. Repent, and, abstaining from every evil word, deeds and thoughts, learn all virtues, and you will always fast before God. St Tikhon of Zadonsk

From St. Teresa of Avila’s “The Interior Castle”–She is talking about the proper way to pray and what your expectations should be while praying. She advocates for a prayer where you let yourself be loved by God, and you let that love guide and nurture you, until your soul is united with God.

When we nurture evil thoughts, we become evil. We may think that we are good, but evil is in us. We do not have the strength to resist it. And we know that, as Christians, we must not even think evil, let alone do it. We, however, have Divine power, Divine life, and Divine energy. On the day of the Final Judgment we shall have to give an answer for the way we have used the Divine power, life, and energy which have been given to us; whether we have contributed to the harmony in the universe, or have sown disharmony. ~Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
