Неделя двадцать пятая по Пятидесятнице

(Eph.4, 1–6; Luke 10, 25–37) To the one who asked about how to be saved, the Lord from His side gave the question: “What is written in the law? How do you read? (Luke 10:26). By this He showed that to resolve all misunderstandings one must turn to the word of God. And so that there are no misunderstandings themselves, it is best to always read the Divine Scripture with attention, reasoning, compassionately, with application to your life and implementation of what concerns thoughts - in thoughts, what concerns feelings - in feelings and dispositions, and what concerns deeds - in deeds. He who listens to the word of God collects bright concepts about everything that is in him, and what is around and what is above him: he clarifies his obligatory relationships in all cases of life and the holy rules, like precious beads, he strings on a thread of conscience, which then accurately and definitely indicates how to act in a manner pleasing to the Lord, tames the passions on which reading the word of God always has a calming effect. Whatever passion excites you, start reading the word of God and the passion will become quieter and quieter, and finally calm down completely. He who is rich in the knowledge of the word of God has above him a pillar of cloud, which led the Israelites in the wilderness (Ex. 13:21–22). You might be interested in:
