On confession:

During the war, when a


soldier is injured in the leg, he
has to go to the doctor to take
care of his wounds, so that he
may fight again.
However, if he says:
Why should the doctor take
care of my wounds, since Ill be
injured again? then his wounds
will be left uncovered and
exposed to bacteria, it will get
infected and he will eventually,
die of hemorrhage.
The same happens with
confession.
You
go
to
confession, if you fall in the
same sins, you will once again
confess them, until you learn not
to fall and stand on your feet.

When someone is grateful


and believes in the Grace of
Christ, which he received
through Holy Baptism is inside
his soul, he humbles his own
will and purifies himself in
order to allow divine grace to
function. When divine grace
functions within the soul, it
makes it think that God faired
this person with more gifts.
However the truth is that this
person loves Christ more, and
through his humility permits
God to act on his behalf.

It is very important to
apply to our lives what we
understand. In our days, we
have a tendency to learn only,
and not to understand. We have
plenty of books in our homes
but we do not apply what we
read to our lives.

When someone is in the


beginning of his spiritual life, he
should not study a lot, but
instead watch himself and
observe his thoughts. A strong

Spiritual life:

Do not try to use your


logic in order to understand
some sections from the Holy
Bible. Logic has no place in
the Holy Bible. Just read it.
God will reveal whatever is
good for you. Sometime, I do
not understand what I read. I
only sense there is something
good in it. But it seems it is not
the right time for me to absorb
this specific good so I leave it
aside.

The Grace of God entered


our soul through the Holy
Baptism, it is a gift granted to
all of us. Sometime, we think
God gave to a Saint more gifts
than others, this is wrong. Christ
loves all the children the same,
it is we however who do not
value and appreciate Gods gift
to the same degree.

We must not act like


children and constantly ask God
for minor things. When we are
asking for something, which can
be humanly accomplished, we
must try, as much as we can, to
do it ourselves.
We should only turn to
God, when we, as human
beings, are unable to achieve
what we want.

God wants our soul to be


simple without many thoughts
and too much knowledge, like
an infant that expects everything
from its parents. That is why the
Lord said: If you do not
become like children, you will
not be able to enter the kingdom
of God.

We must humbly pray to


God and admit our weakness,
and in this way we will be able
to free ourselves from our
concerns and worries, just as our
shadow closely follows our
body, Gods mercy will follow
our humility and faith.

Thoughts:
Thoughts
are
like
airplanes flying in the air. If you
ignore them, there is no
problem. If you pay attention to
them, you create an airport and
permit them to land.

When the caldron is on


fire and boils, the flies stay
away from it. When it is not
boiling, they fall inside. The
same thing happens to our souls.
If they are close to their spiritual
father and the church mysteries,
then the devil stays away.

The words I cant have


no validity in mans life. It is the
words I dont want or I dont
love which lead to say I
cant.

While we havent known


Christ or havent come close to
Him, we dare look after the
salvation of other people!! We
should look after our own
repentance.

Humility:

People, who have inner


life being humble, are real stars;
which move very fast in their
orbit, work silently and in
humility They are hidden in
the sky, and give the impression
to people that they are only
faintly light lanterns.

Humility:

The humble are also the


nightingale which disappears in
the valleys and spreads joy in
the souls of people with its
lovely sweet singing praising
the Lord day and night. While
the haughty are like some
chicken which fill the space
with their noisy squeaking as if
their egg is bigger than the
globe.

When someone comes to


me and start accusing other
people, and puts me in a
difficult situation, I tell him the
above example. Then I ask him
to decide to which category he
wishes to belong, so he may
find people of the same kind to
socialize with.

Not every one who says


the truth face to face is sincere,
nor is the one who spreads it;
but the one who possesses love
and an honest life and who
speaks only at the right time and
say what should be said.

Often behaviour without


discernement is worse than that
of the crazy who opens the
heads of the others. For such
people, through their hard talks,
frequently inflict deadly wounds
in the heart of others and thus
lead their spirit to despair.

answer:" I dont even know


what a rose looks like There
are some people who resemble
the fly.

People belonging to this


category have learned to think
negatively, and always look for
the bad things in life, ignoring
and refusing the presence of
good.

The other category is like


the
bee
whose
main
characteristic is to always look
for something sweet and nice to
sit on
Now if we ask the
bee to show us where the
garbage is, it will answer: I
dont know, I can only tell you
where
to
find
flowers,
sweets
This is the second
category of people who have a
positive thinking and see only
the good side of things.
