Imitate the Saints! Get to know the spiritual value of their lives. Today we celebrated three Saints Sergius. What can we learn from them?

Do we receive God as He reveals Himself, or do we have our own ideas about how things should be? What can we learn from his doubt concerning God's revelation.

Is it ok for us to idle along in the spiritual life? At what point should we become satisfied with our progress? Do we take the Gospel seriously?

What does it mean to exalt the Cross? One thing it means is that we have firmly fixed in our minds that we need salvation. If we feel that way we will become fighters to get what we need. The reason nominal Christians do not fight may be that they do not feel the need to be saved!
