Wisdom if the Holy Fathers: “Death, when understood by men, is deathlessness: but, when not understood by the foolish, it is death. It is not this death that must be feared, but the loss of the soul, which is ignorance of God. This is indeed disaster for the soul.” (+St. Anthony the Great, from the Philokalia)
Lord grant us to pray ceaselessly from the heart, “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” Amen. +
