“The Lord said: 'Without Me you can do nothing' (Jn. 15:5). So for the duration of our life, every day and at every moment, we must keep unchanged in our heart the feeling, conviction and disposition, that on no occasion can we allow ourselves to think of relying on ourselves and trusting ourselves.” ThinkingHeartSaidMomentsFeelingsChristianCan DoLordOur LivesConvictionOccasionsOrthodoxDispositionOrthodox ChristianDuration Author:Lorenzo Scupoli
“We should feel with our whole heart that we have no one to rely on except God, and that from Him and Him alone can we expect every kind of good, every manner of help, and victory. Since we are nothing, we can expect nothing from ourselves, except stumblings and falls, which make us relinquish all hope of ourselves. On the other hand, we are certain always to be granted victory by God, if we arm our heart with a living trust in Him and an unshakable certainty that we will receive His help.” IfsFeelsShouldHeartKindWholeHelpingHandsChristianCertainFallArmsVictoryCertaintyGrantedRelyOrthodoxStumblingUnshakableExpect Nothing Author:Lorenzo Scupoli
