APOLYTIKION

With the rivers of your tears, you cultivated the
barrenness of the desert, and with your sighs deep from within, painstaking

saved.

“The
Christian is one who imitates Christ in thought, word and deed, as far as is
possible for human beings, believing rightly and blamelessly in the Holy
Trinity.” (Step
1§4)
“To
admire the labors of the saints is good; to emulate them wins salvation; but
to wish suddenly to imitate their life in every point is unreasonable and
impossible.” (Step
4§42)
“A
servant of the Lord is he who in body stands before men, but in mind knocks
at Heaven with prayer.” (Step
4§102)
“To
judge others is a shameless arrogation of the Divine prerogative; to condemn
is the ruin of one's soul.” (Step 10§14)
“The
sun shines on all alike, and vainglory beams on all activities. For instance,
I am vainglorious when I fast; and when I relax the fast in order to be
unnoticed, I am again vainglorious over my prudence. When well-dressed I am
quite overcome by vainglory, and when I put on poor clothes I am vainglorious
again. When I talk I am defeated, and when I am silent I am again defeated by
it. However I
|
throw
this prickly-pear, a spike stands upright.” (Step 22§5)
“In all your undertakings and in every way
of life, whether you are living in obedience, or are not submitting your work
to anyone, whether in outward or in spiritual matters, let it be your rule and practice to ask
yourself: Am I really doing this in accordance with God's will?” (Step 26§91)
“There
are many ways of piety and perdition. That is why it often happens that a way
that is unsuitable for one just fits another; and the intention of both is
acceptable to the Lord.” (Step 26§105)
“Seeking
for what is beyond us may have perilous results. The Lord's judgment about us
is unfathomable. By His special providence, He often chooses to hide His will
from us, knowing that, even if we were to learn it, we should disobey it, and
should thereby receive greater punishment.” (Step 26§120)
