Wisdom for the day – Elder Porphyrios

September 26, 2014

“Shine in our hearts, O loving master, the pure light of your divine knowledge and open the eyes of our mind to understand the proclamations of your Gospel.

Instill within us fear of your blessed commandments, so that trampling down all fleshly desires we may lead a spiritual life, thinking and doing everything with a view to pleasing you.

For you are the illumination of our souls and bodies, O Christ our God, and to you we ascribe glory, along with your Father who is without beginning and your all holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and forever and unto the ages of ages.”

Elder Porphyrios
