Archimandrite Andrew (Konnos). Christ is in our midst (№ 393452)

Let us pray to the Lord to alienate from us the hour of death, to live still many years, but let us pray that the years were not wasted - including today. Will try to use the circumstances and events that God sends us to strengthen and grow. Otherwise, we won't see the sense in what is happening in our lives in the morning. The Lord sends us lessons, the purpose of which is to make our soul stronger. The lesson of patience - and you haven't learned this morning because I was angry, late for the bus; a lesson in humility - you have not learned, because when at work you were rude, you mean you cursed these people; a love lesson - but this lesson you have learned, passing on a pedestrian crossing the man ahead of you. "Let pass, thought you, nothing happened". These are the lessons, and I wish they were not in vain.
