Пятница

(Eph. 1:7–17; Mark 8:1–10) Having fed four thousand with seven loaves, the Lord “immediately entered into a boat with His disciples and arrived at the borders of Dalmanutha” (Mark 8:10), as if nothing special had been done. This is true good deeds - to do and do, not paying attention to what has been done, and always forgetting what is behind, and reaching forward to what is ahead. For those filled with kindness, this happens as if naturally. Just as a hero lifts heavy weights without noticing it, but a weak person lifts a small weight and cannot forget it; So the one who is strong with kindness does every good thing without tension, if only by chance; but one who is poor in kindness cannot do without tension: it is memorable to him, and he keeps looking at it, keeps looking around. A good heart thirsts for good deeds, and it is not satisfied until it has done enough good, just as a person is not satisfied until he has eaten enough. Just like here, while hunger is felt, lunch is remembered, and when hunger is satisfied, everything is forgotten. So with a truly good person, a good deed is remembered until it is done, and when it is done, it is forgotten. You might be interested in:
