Moses Svyatogorets. How to kill passion (№ 439954)

You can even say that passion is a real swamp, a drug, a prison. A person is weakened to do what is pleasing to God and cannot get rid of the fetters of pernicious and corrupting passions. We all have small or big passions, overt or secret, well-known and not very well-known, which have become a habit and arise unexpectedly, the same passions that we want to get rid of in words, but at the same time we do not move on to courageous deeds. It must be admitted that victory over these enemies by one's own strength alone is very difficult to achieve. But with the help of the impassive Christ, who endured suffering and death on the cross for us, possessed by passions, we can be freed from their undivided rule.
