☦️ Knowing Jesus Today (& The Next Generation won't Stumble)

#Reflection #Original_Faith When a man reads in a common way lines that contain great meaning, he makes his heart common and devoid of that holy power which gives the heart a most sweet taste through perceptions that awe the soul. Everything is wont to run to its kindred; and the soul that has a share of the Spirit, on hearing a phrase that has spiritual power hidden within, ardently draws out its content for herself. Not every man is wakened to wonder by what is said spiritually and has great power concealed in it. A word concerning virtue has need of a heart unbusied with the earth and its converse; for when a man’s mind wearies itself with care about transitory things, the concerns of virtue do not awaken his thought to a longing and a quest to gain them. +St. Isaac the Syrian

Psalms 107:33-34 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

Psalms 107:30-32 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

☦️🕯️No matter what bitterness has befallen you, no matter what unpleasantness has happened to you, say, "I shall endure this for Jesus Christ!" and it will be easier for you. For the name of Jesus Christ is powerful. Through it all unpleasantness is calmed, and demons disappear. Your disappointments will also be calmed and your pusillanimity will be quieted. 🕯️☦️ ✤ St. Anthony of Optina ✤
