O Lord Most-wise, strengthen us by Your power that we not fear the non-believing world neither when they lash us with whips nor when they insult us with words for Your sake.

O Lord Most-wise, strengthen us by Your power that we not fear the non-believing world neither when they lash us with whips nor when they insult us with words for Your sake.

By His Resurrection, Christ conquered sin and death, destroyed Satan's dark kingdom, freed the enslaved human race and broke the seal on the greatest mysteries of God and man.

For if God does not for a moment tire of giving us good things, how can we tire of thanking Him for these good things?

Let us be ashamed of our slowness in thanking God when He gives, and of our quickness in grumbling at Him when He takes away.

For preserving peace of soul, it is also necessary to avoid judging others.

For every man, peace of soul is precious.
