O Holy Apostle Philip,

Intercede with the merciful God

That he may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory for Ever! + Slava Isusu Christu! Slava i vo Viki!

From the Fathers of the Church

St. Hesychios the Priest

St. Basil the Great, mouthpiece of Christ and pillar of the Church, says that great help towards not sinning and not committing daily the same faults is for us to review in ourconscience at the end of each day what we have done wrong and what we have doneright. Job did this with regard both to himself and to his children (cf. Job 1: 5). These

daily reckoning illumine a mans hour by hour behavior.Someone else wise in the things of God has said that as the fruit begins with the flower,so the practice of the ascetic life begins with self-control. Let us then learn to controlourselves with due measure and judgment, as the Fathers teach us. Let us pass all hoursof the day in the guarding of the intellect, for by doing this we shall with Gods help and

with certain forcefulness be able to quell and reduce evil in us. For the spiritual life,

through which the kingdom of heaven is given, does indeed require a certain forcefulness(cf. Mt 11: 12).

St. John Chrysostom

You cannot pray at home as at church, where there is a great multitude, whereexclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is somethingmore: the union of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of the

priests.
