Christianity is a lifetime of repentance. Even the greatest saints died repenting of their sinful nature. "We are not mightier than Samson, wiser than Solomon, more knowledgable about God than David and we don't love God more than Peter. So let us not have confidence in ourselves...Let us learn humility from Christ and from Peter to shed tears, but let us also learn to to avoid despair...The Devil, with all his powers 'walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pete 5:8)> So you must never relax your attentiveness of heart, your watchfulness your power of rebuttal or your prayer to Jesus Christ our God. you will not find a greater help than Jesus in all your life for He, as God, knows the deceitful ways lf the demons...Let your soul then trust in Christ; let it call on him and never fear. For it fights not alone but with the aid of the mighty king, Jesus Christ, Creator of all that is."--Saint Hesychios the Priest |
