Воздвижение Креста Господня

(Eph.5, 20–26; Luke 3:23–4:1) During Great Lent, an honorable cross is offered for worship in order to inspire Lenten workers to patiently bear the yoke they have raised to the end, and in September, why is this done? Did that happen? But providential Wisdom, which arranges everything, has no cases. This is what this is for: in September the fields are harvested, at least here. So, lest some Christians, in a feeling of contentment, say: “Soul! you have a lot of good things lying around for many years: rest, eat, drink, be merry!” (Luke 12:19), and others have not fallen in spirit from poverty, the erected cross appears before the eyes of all, reminding the first that the support of well-being is not possessions, but Christian internal cross-bearing, when the external, by the goodness of God, is put together, inspiring the second to gain their souls with patience, inspiring them with the confidence that from the cross they go straight to heaven; Therefore, let some endure, believing that they are going along the right path to the Kingdom of Heaven, while others eat external consolations with fear, lest they gain entry into heaven.
