“He who asks to receive his daily bread does not automatically receive it in its fullness as it is in itself: he receives it according to his own capacity as recipient. The Bread of Life (cf. Jn. 6:35) gives Himself in His love to all who ask, but not in the same way to all; for He gives Himself more fully to those who have performed great acts of righteousness, and in smaller measure to those who have not achieved so much. He gives Himself to each person according to that person's spiritual ability to receive Him.” WayGivingPersonsDoeChristianSpiritualAsksAbilityCapacityBreadOrthodoxRighteousnessHis LoveFullnessOrthodox ChristianCfsDaily BreadBread Of Life Author:Maximus the Confessor
“There is nothing in either savage or civilized history that is more utterly complete, more remorselessly sweeping than the Father of Mercy´s campaign among the Midianites. The official report deals only in masses, all the virgins, all the men, all the babies. all ´creatures that breathe,´ all houses. all cities. It gives you just one vast picture ...as far as the eye can reach, of charred ruins and storm-swept desolation... Would you expect this same conscienceless God, this moral bankrupt, to become a teacher of morals, of gentleness, of meekness, of righteousness, of purity?” MenGivingEyeFatherHouseDealsCitiesMoralTeacherHe ManBabyCreaturesMassMercyStormBreatheCampaignsRuinsOfficialsPurityJust OneReportsCivilizedRighteousnessSavagesVirginsGentlenessSweepingDesolationMeekness Author:Mark Twain
