6th Sunday of the Great Lent- 03292026

Just as a newborn baby depends on feeding, cleansing, and resting in order to grow, so also our inner person requires constant spiritual care to thrive.

The Needs of the Inner Person

* Feeding
: We nourish our inner person through continual meditation on the Word of God and by partaking of the Holy Eucharist—the true “Bread of Life.” Through these, the soul is strengthened and sustained.

* Cleansing: 
When we feel burdened, anxious, or weighed down by sin, it is often a sign that our inner person needs cleansing.
Daily repentance is like a gentle, ongoing washing, but the sacrament of confession is a deeper cleansing—a “full bath” that renews and restores the soul.

* Resting: 
Growth happens in rest. We must learn to slow down in our relationship with God—not always striving, but simply being in His presence, like a baby resting peacefully on a parent’s chest.

A Life of Dependence
Just as a newborn is completely dependent on others, we too are called to become fully dependent on God—humbling ourselves to receive His grace, His care, and His life within us.

During the Divine Liturgy
Especially during the Divine Liturgy, we are invited to quiet our hearts, set aside distractions, and focus entirely on Emmanuel—God with us—who is truly present in our midst.

If we care daily for the inner person, through cleansing, feeding, and resting then the new life within us will grow, and Christ will be formed in us.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me” (Psalm 139:23–24).

1st Sunday of Lent Feb 22, 2026

If you do not forgive those who have wronged you, do not trouble yourself with fasting. If you refuse to forgive your brother’s debt and remain angry with him, your fasting is useless- God will not accept it. Fasting will not benefit you until you grow in love and in the hope that comes from faith. Anyone who fasts while remaining angry and holding hatred in their heart is rejecting God, and salvation is far from them.
— Ephrem the Syrian
