To be honest, I thought I would not last until Pascha. Why? Here’s why: I am weak! You are strong and steadfast, and I am a weakling, standing here in full view. However, by some miracle, we have all made it to the Pascha.
We need to make radical changes to our lives. The change begins in our minds. No sinful thought should linger in the mind. We mustn't let the thought of sin enter because it will reach our hearts and poison our very lives once we let it in.
We are grateful to God to have a heavenly Mother Who has adopted all the people as Her children – obedient or rebellious, good natured or ill-willed. She loves us as a mother, and will always help and protect us whenever we need it.
