Неделя седьмая по Пятидесятнице

(Rom. 15, 1–7; Matt. 9, 27–35) “According to your faith, be it done to you” (Matthew 9:29), the Lord said to the two blind men, and immediately their eyes were opened. As far as faith, so much as the attraction of Divine power. Faith is the receiver, mouth and container of grace. Just as one person’s lungs are large, and another’s are small, and those take in more air, and these less, so one’s faith is large, another’s is small, and that one accepts more gifts from the Lord, and this one receives less. God is everywhere, embraces and contains everything, and loves to dwell in human souls; but he does not enter into them by force, even though he is omnipotent, but as if by invitation, for he does not want to violate the power He has given to man over himself or the right of farming within himself. Whoever opens himself with faith, God fills him, but whoever closes himself with unbelief does not enter into him, even if he is nearby. God! Add faith to us, for faith is Your gift. Each of us must confess: “But I am poor and needy” (Ps. 69:6). You might be interested in:
