"A person who does not pray is unarmed, uninsured and exposed to many temptations"
"St. Paisios of Mount Athos"
More than any other time today there is a deep need for our eternal soul to draw near to its Creator.
To stand before Him in prayer, not theoretically, but experiencing it as a spiritual event, as a source of strength.
Without our thought always being result-oriented.
Without it being a theoretical approach but as if it were food and breath that nourishes us, shields us, sustains us and embraces our whole being.
But at the same time it is also a blessed struggle, a fight, a struggle to get out, especially for modern man who is trapped in tragic situations and in despair without limits.
Who, the more he despairs of himself, the more God blesses him.
The more he carries God within him by blessing him every moment of the day and night, the stronger he becomes, the more he is strengthened, strengthened, armored against visible and invisible enemies.
Let him make himself prayerful, especially today ,now in the midst of the stage of Lent to be strengthened and adopt weapons invincible against all kinds of enemies.
