We should always remind ourselves:

I am the worst of all sinners!


However, our Lord is infinitely Merciful
and He Loves all mankind unconditionally.
When I Repent,
He will forgive my innumerable sins!

Elder Thaddeus Vitovnika


The Spiritual Life is the Life of our nous and our thoughts.
Therefore we must pay close attention to any thoughts that
we breed, and we must pray to our Lord day and night
to Deliver us from all evil, to Cleanse us and to grant us
Strength to reject the suggestions of the evil spirits.

Porefsonte

evstohi volides astrapon, ke


os apo ekiklou toxou ton nefon, epi
skopon alounte.

Well-aimed

Ke

ek petrovolou thimou pliris rifisonte


halaze.

And

Aganaktisi

kat afron idor thalassis potami de sigklisousin apotomos

Antistisete
Ke

flashes of Lightning will


strike, and leap to their target as
from a well drawn bow of clouds.

hailstones full of anger will be


hurled as from an engine of war.

The waters of the sea will be vexed with


them - rivers will wash over them
relentlessly.

aftis pnema dinameos, ke os


lelaps eklikmisi aftous.

A powerful wind will oppose them, and

erimosi pasan tin Gin anoia, ke i


kakopragia

Thronous
Dinaston.

And

like a storm, it will winnow them.


lawlessness will lay waste all the
Earth, and wrongdoing will overturn
the Thrones of Rulers.
