Here's some encouragement from Holy Scripture as we approach the mid-point of the great fast.
"And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach" Isaiah 58:12
According to the Genesis 3 account of the fall of Man, the first and most immediate result of Adam and Eve’s consumption of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was the realization that they were naked.
According to St. Ambrose of Milan: "Whoever has lost the covering of his nature and virtue is naked."
The law written by the hand of God on stone tablets represents the law’s inability to enliven the dead, for when Moses descended the mountain, the people had already created the golden calf. Therefore, the tablets were remade and Moses wrote on the stone tablets. But Christ, who fulfilled the law and took His life back up again, now writes the law on living hearts of flesh.

This episode focuses on sharing the afflictions of Christ through bearing our own cross.
Sacrifice was established as soon as mankind was expelled from paradise where Adam and Eve did not sacrifice their own will, but instead took the fruit for themselves.
Love in sacrifice and sacrifice in love are the cornerstones of true Life. Without love, sacrifice kills; without sacrifice, love is barren sentiment.

Like the wooden horse given to the city of Troy, the Cross of Jesus Christ is not at all what it seems. It is dead wood that produced the ripened fruit of eternal life; it's a sword disguised as gallows.

Your life, beloved, is a war and temptation precipitates each battle.
Saint Theophan the Recluse said it this way: “The arena, the field of battle, the site where the fight actually takes place is our own heart and all our inner man. The time of battle is our whole life.”
St. James tells us that every man is tempted from within, being lured away by his own lusts and passions, and is enticed. (James 1:14)
In Mark 7, our Lord says this:
“Hear Me, everyone, and understand: There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.”
