“In the doctrine of Providence, we have a specific Christian confession exclusively possible through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is no general, vague notion of Providence. It has a concrete focus: ‘If God is for us, who is against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?’ (Rom.8:31, 32).” IfsGivingChristianJesusChristFocusSonJesus ChristAll ThingsNotionDoctrineConcreteConfessionProvidenceVagueFaith In Jesus Author:G.

“The East is unfamiliar with those confessions, memoirs, and autobiographies so beloved in the West. There is a clear difference in tonality. One's gaze never lingers on the suffering humanity of Christ, but penetrates behind the kenotic veil. To the West's mysticism of the Cross and its veneration of the Sacred Heart corresponds the eastern mysticism of the sealed tomb, from which eternal life eternal wells up.” WellsHeartSufferingHumanityChristDifferencesBehindsClearEternalCrossesSacredWestEastMemoirBelovedMysticismConfessionAutobiographyEasternVeilsPenetrateEternal LifeTombsUnfamiliarVenerationSacred Heart Author:Paul Evdokimov
