From “Words of Spiritual Benefit” for H.H. Pope
Shenouda III
Earnestness
� Perhaps our relationship with some people could be described as earnest. But
would our relationship with God have the same seriousness?
� Are our promises to God earnest? Are our personal decisions about our spiritual
life serious decisions? Or do we promise and never keep our promise; decide and
never take action, as if we are not committed to anything?
� Are our vows to God firm and serious? Or do we take important pledges with
God at critical moments of our life and when the crisis is over, we cancel these
pledges or try to change them?
� When we proceed to receive the Holy Communion, with wholehearted intentions
to lead a holy life with God, do we keep this feeling or do we forget the
undertakings of our hearts and seriously neglect the life of repentance?!...
� Do we have a clear cut line that we firmly follow, or are we like a feather that the
wind shifts without seriousness?
� Is this seriousness, in our spiritual life, bound to certain principles of purity
without going astray, no slackness in the means of grace and serving without
being slothful?
� The saints who repented, like St. Moses the Black, St. Augustine and St. Mary
the Egyptian, were serious about their repentance. They never turned back to their
old lifestyle, which they deserted with no return...
� Those who formed friendship and companionship with God never betrayed this
friendship. They seriously remained loyal to Him, feeling an emotional and
practical commitment towards His love...
� Those who are serious in their spiritual life are never moved by tribulations or
temptations. They never forget that they are the temples of God and His Spirit
dwells in them. They never forget that they are the children of God and they must
keep His image and example...
� Those who are serious in their spiritual life show this seriousness in each aspect
of their life: in their talk, their behavior, their service, their worship, their
relationship with others and their firm stand towards the thoughts and feelings
that fight the heart.
� They have principles and they are committed to these principles.
� Let us all then live in earnestness... It is one of the qualities of God's children. It
is an evidence of steadfastness...
