#stmosestheethiopian #desertfathers #discernment #stjohncassian #fasting #vigils #prayers Abba Moses said:] 'Fasts and vigils, the study of Scripture, renouncing possessions and everything wordly are not in themselves perfection, as we have said; they are its tools. For perfection is not to be found in them; it is acquired through them. It is useless, therefore, to boast of our fasting, vigils, #poverty, and reading of Scripture when we have not achieved the love of God and our fellow man. Whoever has achieved love has God within himself and his nous is always with God.' —St. John Cassian, On the Holy Fathers of Sketis. *** #charismaticdespair #stseraphimofsarov #myelderjosephthehesychast #eldersophronyofessex #iknowamaninchrist #nativityfast #nativity

After the third time – when the Elder Eli had told Samuel to return to his place and sleep, and when he heard the voice again, to say, “Speak, for Your servant hears” – as a good disciple, Samuel went back to his place and fell asleep (1 Kg./l Sam. 3:9). Then it was that “The Lord came, and stood” and spoke to him, as He had before. Immediately he heard his name, Samuel replied, “Speak, for Your servant hears” (1 Kg./l Sam. 3:10). He senses that God is Lord and that he is the servant of His Lord. The purpose of the revelation of God was that Samuel had to convey to Eli the fact that God was displeased both with the conduct of his sons and with the indifference that Eli himself was showing to his sons’ behaviour. God said that He was not going to endure this situation any longer, but would punish the whole of Eli’s family. There was no way in which the sin of his sons would be wiped out (1 Kg./l Sam. 3:11-14). #MetropolitanHierotheosofNafpaktos #empiricaldogmatics #intercedeinourbehalf #theseer #theroyalpath #holyprophetsamuel #charismaticdespair #bewareof #ecumenismisheresy #temptationfromtheright #clericalism #moralism #pietism #barlaamism

#elderjosephthehesychast #myelderjosephthehesychast #ElderEphraimofArizona #noeticprayer #noeticfaculty #discernment #despair #charismaticdespair #eldersophronyofessex Every thought that brings despair and heavy sorrow is from the devil. It is the steam of the passions, and you must expel it at once with hope in #God, with confession to the eldress, and with the prayers of those older than you, by thinking that they are praying and entreating God for you.
