The grace of ChristThe grace of Christ will fill our souls – St. Pasios the Athonite
 
When we believe in God and have trust in His fatherly providence and concern, then we do not think of ourselves. Instead, we know that God is aware of our needs and looks after our problems, from the simplest to the most serious ones.
 
The only thing we must want is to allow God’s love and providence to function for us. When we have this kind of faith and inner disposition, we are able to see God’s miracles – God himself – who is always close to us under all circumstances.
 
In order to experience this we must reject any form of worldly assistance or human hope, and with a pure heart, unhesitatingly and trustfully devote our minds to God. Then the grace of Christ will fill our souls at once…
 
We must totally rely on God’s providence as this is the only way to be relieved of our anxiety and worries… To trust divine providence one must free himself from all worldly concerns and wait for God to look after him…. He must overcome his love for money and trust in it and then rest all his hopes on God and he cannot do both at the same time.
Spread the love
