Envy

Only mouths that have adhered to the Word for life succeed in exposing sins. Among the texts that I have read about the sin of envy, I list two things: envy is when a person enters, with sick hatred, between God and His generosity to people, and then asks that all His blessings upon them ...

Concern For People

During the past two weeks, I underwent three diagnostic tests for COVID-19. My daughter insisted that I find out if my contacts with infected people had passed by safely. My tests came back negative; may God protect you! You know. We have no indication that the epidemic has become a thing of the past. I ...

The Working Spirit

There is no boring and exhausting work equivalent to the ecclesial work in which we rely exclusively on our own ability. Everything differs with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit, if we surrender to Him, gives forth in us the good deeds that please Him, revive us and please Him, please and glorify Him.

I briefly return to the outbreak of the epidemic. It was hard, on more than one level. We did not know what the world knows about it today. If God grants us to live, it is our duty to review what we have done in the light of the Truth. For example, were we hasty ...

My Freedom

After she became the mother of a baby girl, she discovered that she is beautiful, and she pursued her discovery! Am I polishing up sin? Nothing deserves to be considered a discovery like the words of the apostle: “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. ...

The Joy of Life

I was in a "forest", walking. From afar, I saw a young girl bending down in front of a car. I thought she was looking for something that had fallen from her. Then I saw her standing, and swaying as if she were singing and dancing. When I got close to her, I noticed that ...

The Voice of the Lord

He called me. He asked that we meet. I was in my office. I know the caller, but I also know what the brothers think of him. Most of them do not trust him! He is about forty years old. In his call, he repeated to me that he is a father of six children. ...
