ГОВЕНИЕ

The surer and stronger the means that unites us with God (prayer and repentance), the more destructive actions are directed against it by the enemy of God and ours, who uses everything for this: our body, which is disposed towards laziness, and the weakness of the soul, its attachment to earthly goods and worries, doubt, lack of faith, unbelief, so close to everyone, nasty, crafty and blasphemous thoughts, heaviness of heart, darkness of thought - everything is directed. those who are inattentive, through the action of the enemy, are led to falter in prayer, on this ladder that leads us to God. That is why there are very few sincere and zealous prayer books; That is why Christians fast, repent and receive communion very rarely; perhaps they would not fast by half if the civil law did not command everyone to attend confession and holy communion every year. Those who have experienced know all this (1). You might be interested in:
