The Consequences of the Fall

The Expectation of the Savior

One should know that the devil greatly fears the watchful man.

O man if you only knew your own value.

Blessed is the one who prays intensely. 

This means that we must be grateful and in a state of awareness. This provides much greater benefit than many prayers or prostrations done mechanically. 

St. Isaac the Syrian teaches, "A fire cannot be ignited in wet wood, nor can the divine fervor be kindled in a heart that loves ease."

You make 100 prostrations rush, rush, rush. Even if you make them properly what do you do afterwards. 

Striving for uniformity with God's will in the midst of difficulties takes practicing perseverance and cultivating prayer in trials and hardships.

Feminism today is satisfied to steal just a little piece of you.
