We must cultivate this love in our souls, that we may take our place with all the saints, for they were all-pleasing unto God through their love for their neighbour."Ignatiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09848752486847911897noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463220329626625178.post-50906865927145981582011-05-15T05:28:00.000-07:002011-05-23T07:26:09.043-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tZnV1GKwKWo/Tc_Hif6N48I/AAAAAAAAABU/3xqKfzKGTQQ/s1600/anastasis.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tZnV1GKwKWo/Tc_Hif6N48I/AAAAAAAAABU/3xqKfzKGTQQ/s320/anastasis.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606919456594715586" /></a><br /><br />Christus resurrexit e mortuis, morte mortem calcavit et entibus in sepulchris vitam donavit!<br /><br />Christ is risen from the dead by death hath He trampled down death and upon those in the graves hath He bestowed life!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4463220329626625178-5090686592714598158?l=stselizabethandetheldreda.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ignatiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09848752486847911897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463220329626625178.post-13261080585104274182011-04-18T14:13:00.000-07:002011-04-18T14:13:28.121-07:00<iframe height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4Bo1Uei0h18?fs=1" frameborder="0" width="425" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4463220329626625178-1326108058510427418?l=stselizabethandetheldreda.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ignatiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09848752486847911897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463220329626625178.post-23902636572482381852009-11-27T08:54:00.000-08:002009-11-27T09:03:31.986-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tiws3ZnQ9GY/SxAFH7OZqEI/AAAAAAAAAA0/XvFGdk7JkB0/s1600/GREGPALA.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 237px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408828786187282498" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tiws3ZnQ9GY/SxAFH7OZqEI/AAAAAAAAAA0/XvFGdk7JkB0/s320/GREGPALA.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Let us too, brethren, move our dwelling-place from earth to on high. Let us be changed "from flesh to spirit", and transfer our longing from fleeting concerns to things that endure. Let us despise the pleasures of the flesh, which were invented as a bait to trap the soul, and soon pass away, and let us desire sprirtual gifts which stay incorruptible. Let us raise our disposition and our thoughts from the disorder below and lift them up to the heavenly sanctuary, to that Holy of Holies where the Mother of God now dwells. - St. Gregory Palamas: Homily 53</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4463220329626625178-2390263657248238185?l=stselizabethandetheldreda.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ignatiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09848752486847911897noreply@blogger.com0
