Archpastoral Message On Great Lent, Love And Salvation
21. March 2013 - 13:49Beloved Clergy and Monastics, Sons and Daughters,
Dear Spiritual Children,
"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels,but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing (I Cor. 13:1-3)."
So often when we think of salvation, we drastically limit ourselves to the conventional, to living a good and simple, honourable and decent life. Essentially, this is true. Yet often times that which is so simple, so seemingly complete and therefore wholesome, can have so little or nothing to do with our salvation. What then constitutes following the straight and narrow path, if not observing the precepts and the letter of the law? Love!
