 St Heschios the Presbyter
Just as impossible as it is to fight battles Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica
without any weapons,
We are far too engrossed
or to swim in a great sea
in things of this temporary world,
while fully clothed,
and thus we become Spiritually Impoverished
or to live
because no one
without breathing,
can sit on two chairs at the same time.
so too, without Humility
and our constant Prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ,
it is impossible for us
to master the Art of Inward Spiritual Warfare,
or to set about it
and pursue it skilfully
and be victorious.

Brethren, the Fruit of the Spirit is Love,
Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness,
Self-control.
Crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk
by the Spirit.
Let us have no self-conceit, no
provoking of one another, no envy of
each other.
Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any
trespass, you who are Spiritual,
should Restore him in a Spirit of
Gentleness.
Look to yourself lest you, too, be
tempted.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so
fulfil the Law of Christ.
RD ING TO S T M ATTHE W 11 : 27 – 30
OF CHRIST REST ASSURED & CONFIDENT IN HIM
At that time, our Lord Jesus said: “... All
things have been delivered to Me by
My Father, and no one knows the
Son except the Father.
“Nor does anyone know the Father,
except the Son, and the one to
whom the Son Wills to reveal Him.
“Come to Me, all who labour and who
are heavily laden, and I will grant
you rest.
“Take My Yoke upon you, and learn
from Me, for I Am Gentle and Lowly
in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls.
“For My Yoke is easy and My Burden is
light.”
