St Silouan of Mount Athos
The Saints are like our Lord Jesus Christ.
So, too, are all those
who keep the Commandments of Christ.
Those who live according to their own passions
and who do not Repent
are like the devil.
If this vital Divine Mystery was revealed to the world
Every sinner would stop serving the evil one
and they would all strive to serve our Lord God
with all their strength with all their being -
and ceaselessly endeavour to be like Him!
2. F E S T A L V E S P E R S S T L U K E THE APOSTLE & EVANGELIST 18 OCTOBER
St Silouan of Mount Athos
Many think that the Saints are far from us.
However, they are only far
from those who distance themselves from them.
They are very close
to those who keep the Commandments of Christ
and who have the Grace of the Holy Spirit.
In Heaven all things are moved by the Holy Spirit
Who is also with us on Earth -
in our Holy Church and in our Holy Mysteries.
The Holy Spirit is in Holy Scripture
and in the soul of those who are Faithful.
God the Holy Spirit Unites all things.
Therefore the Saints are close to us.
And when we pray to them
The Holy Spirit hears our Prayers
And our soul knows that they are all praying for us.

Grace was poured upon Thy lips, O
Luke, by the Fiery Tongue, which
made Thee a Tongue of Fire; for
when Thou preached, Thou sent
forth Words of Light to those who
were worthy of Light, and to those
who preferred Darkness, Thou sent
Balls of Fire by Thy Teaching and
writing of the Gospel. And, as Thine
own Teacher, Paul, had said, thou
became the Fragrance of Life to
those who truly want Life, while for
those who prefer Death, Thou art the
Fragrance of Death. But to us who
extol Thee, grant us Peace, and Life,
and Light, and Great Mercy.
His Proclamation went forth into all
the Earth, and His Words to the
ends of the world.
We know the Truth concerning those
things that were accomplished,
inasmuch as Thou undertood to
write down a God Inspired Account
