Preparing For Death | White & Beige Floral Scrapbook Texture Cross | Arts & Crafts Style | St Irenaeus | Orthodox Christian Jersey Tank TopThe business of the Christian is nothing else than to be ever preparing for death. + St Irenaeus of Lyons, Fragments from the Lost Writings of Ireneus

save me who alone have transgressed Thy laws of salvation

O Theotokos: but as thou art one with might which is invincible

It is impossible

Thou shalt shine forth again

come Thou now and sanctify this water by the indwelling of Thy Holy Spirit

seeking whom he may devour

For thou art the Throne of the King:

for not a God that willest iniquity art Thou

O invincible champion of my passionate soul

it supplicates in vain

neither light of the sun

economic independence―are but blind alleys in which rot the corpses of the many who have tried them
