This lesson struck me to the heart as Lord reminded me at my confirmation at 9 years that because of the love in my heart for him I would suffer terrible agony seeing all who hate Him. They would reject me for my pursuing His glory...Lord God have mercy upon us...
Glory to You, O Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of Your Father, amen. I am lacking this sensitivity, myself. I remember St. Paisios saying that the Spiritual person is all pain... Now I have a taste of that understanding, and of my hard-heartedness and lukewarm faith in God. Thank you, Fr. Peter.
stop sexual sins, purify through prayer and eucharist, prostrations, and bible reading, and our Lord will purify enlighten, and your heart will ache for humanity with love and purity. Glory to Christ. ☦
Saint John 12:25-27 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. “I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
Yes Father! This loss of collective contact of Gods grace outside of the Church, where it has been isolated to in our collective lives, leaves one faint with dawning realization. But on the other hand that grace remains unmoved and unmovable as a kind of mysterious net and it is just waiting for us who have run back to God in His Church to stay aware and praying to His grace for us as we go about our day. And we can very easily pray to the Saints to help us!
As a protestant I had to back off from the world because it was causing me too much pain. The positive is that I've filled the space with reading the Bible, but I worry that God wants me to a light but am I hiding my light?
@@theTavis01, then pray for us, as we pray for you (and all), & go where you need to be @ this time & stage of your journey. If you profit not spiritually from visiting us, don't waste your time & ours by returning here endlessly. We know not how much time we have. May the Lord guide you!
@@theTavis01 You may be right but probably for the wrong reason. The only good reason for your coming would be encountering Orthodoxy to be reconciled to His Church. We could hope. But as of now in your pride it seems you think yourself a guide; that your vain speculations are useful; that someone might benefit from your opinions against Holy Orthodoxy. This is delusion.
I used to have pain of heart, fast, pray, listen to the fathers, now I eat a lot. What do I do? I am afraid and rationalize sin. What do I do? I left the remnant. I want to repent.

@@theTavis01 for someone who's anti orthodox you sure love popping up on our channels
@@theTavis01 You are though. You are always cutting us and our Faith down in our own home. That is not love.
