"God is light" 1 John 1:5
posted by Constantine at 6:36:00 pm
I've over-educated myself in all the things I shouldn't have known.
To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.
When I became Christian I voluntarily crucified my mind, and all the crosses that I bear have only been a source of joy for me. I have lost nothing, and gained everything.
The knowledge of the Cross is concealed in the sufferings of the Cross.
Whatever you may be seeking, seek it with all your strength, but do not expect your own search and efforts to bear fruit of themselves. Put your trust in the Lord, ascribing nothing to yourself, and He will give you your heart's desire.
A silent man is a son of wisdom and is always gaining great knowledge.
We have heard enough of liberty and the rights of man; it is high time to hear something of the duties of men and the rights of authority.
Blessed Martyr Constantine XI, ευχων υπερ ημων!

That's an excellent point, Constantine. I have yet to read The Divine Comedy, but that one line is enough for me now. ~.^ How many souls are lost because we desire to follow our own wills instead of His! Keep up your apostolate here!
By the way, what language is your Divine Liturgy in? For the most part, I attend a Traditional Latin Mass given by the SSPX, but I do visit a Ukrainian Byzantine Rite Cathedral now and then. I assume they use Ukrainian and not Old Church Slavonic 'cause I have absolutely idea about any of the Eastern languages.
Anyway, check back on my blog 'cause I left a response to your comment. If you want to exchange e-mails or perhaps go on MSN, Yahoo, etc., let me know. Farewell!
