1. After reading a verse from the Gospel and the Apostle, you need to turn each word into a subject of discussion Let the unfolded Gospel and the Apostle lie before your eyes. Read the poem and try to turn every word into a subject of discussion. If God gives you a thought... write it down (1, p. 35). 2. Read the day's Gospel after prayer with meditation Read the day's Gospel after prayer, with reflection and conclusions for yourself (1, p. 72). 3. The Gospel can be read while sitting without diminishing reverence You can read the Gospel while sitting, but without diminishing reverence. How long to read the Psalter? As much as your heart desires (1, p. 113). 4. Read the Gospel to find out how to be determined and take care to fulfill this Read the Gospel and the Apostle and see how a Christian should be configured, and take care to be so configured (1, p. 118). 5. We do not have books to clarify confusion that arises when reading the Gospel. We do not have a book to clarify the confusion that arises when reading the Gospels. There is a brief interpretation of the Gospels... Rev. Mikhail Kursky... But it does not touch upon puzzling questions (1, p. 229). 6. In the Gospel the Spirit of God Moves Read more of the Holy Scripture, especially the Gospel... There the Spirit of God moves and drives away spirits that are against God and who fight against God” (2, p. 197). 7. Conscience must be enlightened by the word of God, drawing rules for it from the Gospel Let your conscience always be clear. But the conscience must be enlightened by the word of God, otherwise it often worries about things that should not be stood up for. To do this, you need to read the Gospel and from there draw rules by which your conscience should then be guided (2, p. 200). 8. About reading the Gospel and writing down good thoughts Reading the Gospel is the best reading. May the Lord give you good thoughts every time you read... Fr. John of Kronstadt wrote down these thoughts and has now published... two decent books have been published... And I once wrote down... I had to advise one solitary woman to write down good thoughts (3, p. 93). 9. About reading the daily Gospel and the Apostle Do you require a decision on how to read the Gospel and the Apostle, chapter by chapter or, as indicated in the Church, by beginning? As you are already accustomed to reading in church, then continue like this... Try... to reflect and remember (3, pp. 153–154). 10. Thoughts on a Better Way to Explain the Gospel It is not necessary to write an interpretation of the Gospel, but a reflection, so that every word and every movement of the Lord will be a solemn testimony of His Divinity. When, God willing, we begin this song of praise to the Lord, there will be no end to it. Oh, when would this matter even begin! In the Gospel, one concept is supposed to be read every day. This is a lesson from the Holy Church to our children. We must study... In the morning, when the soul is free from outside impressions, with a prayer for admonition, pay attention to this mystery of God’s judgments and see what the living Lord speaks through this dead thing, as if taking out a word (11, p. 102). Read the Gospel and other spiritual books every morning after prayer. If you have your own corner, then don’t leave it without reading and praying. From this you will have strength of spirit and heart (8, p. 152). 13. Reading the Gospel and the Apostle with meditation - a spiritual meal After reading the Apostle, extract a general idea and stick with it. After reading the Gospel, do the same. To this add the following: if any text from the Apostle or the Gospel attracts especially attention, take it as a subject of discussion and discuss it, extracting edifying thoughts from it and feeding the soul with them, through the providence of these thoughts to the feeling... You will have God's table... or a royal dinner (6, p. 68). You might be interested in:
