ICXC NIKA Means Jesus Christ Conquers | Textured Red Orthodox Cross w/ Medieval Floral Background | Orthodox Christian HoodieWhen you are subjected to the malicious and furious violence of the passions, and to the harassments of the devil, during the fulfillment of various works for God, accept these sufferings as sufferings for the Name of Christ, and rejoice in your sufferings, thanking God; for the devil is preparing you, without knowing it himself, the most shining crowns from the Lord. + St John of Kronstadt

When you are subjected to the malicious and furious violence of the passions

will not be saved O Lord

And Simon Peter answered and said

and everything else unfolding in front of us

It turns its eyes to the angels and beseeches them in vain

to St Peter's warning that "the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober

The prophets rejoiced because they had seen His humanity

As a mirror shows the image of the objects placed in front of it

both internal and external

so that you may become sharers of the divine nature and partakers of the Holy Spirit
