This is Saturday and it means I don't have school day today. What a silent and calm morning it was as I stood in the front of holy icon of Christ, Mother of God and His saint, St. John the Forerunner! I was really glad for this beautiful day which God still alloweth me to live in His mercy.
Last night I visited The Orthodox Prayer web page and was astonished with its contents such as beautiful quotes, instructions and guidance in building the prayer life. Very beautiful! Here is a quote which is very lovely:
"Those who desire to renounce their old nature must not sometimes pray and sometimes not, but must unceasingly devote themselves to prayer and watchfulness of mind, even when they are outside temples of prayer. Those who intend to purify gold, if even for a short time they allow the fire to go out in the furnace, they produce hardening again in the material that is being purified. Ignatius Brianchaninov. And that reminds me to Father Stephen's post: Pray Always.
I trust this day to you O Lord! Lord have mercy!
Very nice ikons, Yudhie! Now I get to see what other ikons you have. May Christ our man-loving and faithful High Priest and God bless you this Lord's day, and in the coming week!
