Flying over the Abyss

$30.00

The Lord is merciful and loving, and He gives all things to all; but He is also holy. In Him, there is no spot. And in spite of His great love for us, He cannot mingle and unite with us unless we resemble Him, if only a little; unless we have also put on an acceptable garment to enter the bridechamber of the Lord.

Spiritual mourning reverses the temptation of the Fall: it cleanses every corner of man’s heart from every impurity so that it becomes a true vessel of divine grace for his sanctification. When his heart is thus enlarged, he becomes a true image of God, that is, a repetition of
the Hypostasis of Christ. And according to Saint Sophrony, when there are such repetitions on earth, the nature and fate of the whole creation changes. Their prayer sustains the world.
