Life is Spiritual Warfare No. 1 | Orthodox Christian Hoodie / Hooded SweatshirtLife is spiritual warfare. If youre not fighting, youre losing. St Kosmas of Aetolia Psalm 151 I was the smallest among my brethren, and the youngest in the house of my father. My hands made an instrument, and my fingers fashioned a psaltery. And who shall tell my Lord? The Lord Himself, He Himself shall hearken. He sent forth His angel and took me from the flocks of my father, and anointed me with the oil of His anointing. My brethren were handsome

and only then go into complete solitude or silence

as it were

But when the blade was sprung up

and be freed from the influence of his feelings and senses

'What shall I do

sanctify all who bow down before thee and glorify Christ

bringing my recompense

for the coming Christ shall be sudden as a dreadful flash of lightning

having put on the breastplate of faith and love

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us

- Psalm 82

How will we look at the Lord straight in the eyes
