Food for Thought (8/3)

Thou wast transfigured upon Mount Tabor, showing the exchange mortal men will make with Thy glory at Thy second and fearful coming, O Saviour.  Elijah and Moses talked with Thee, and Thou hast called the three disciples to be with Thee.  As they gazed upon Thy glory, O Master, they were struck with wonder at Thy blinding brightness.  Do Thou who then hast shone upon them with Thy light, give light now to our souls.

Sessional Hymn from Matins of the Transfiguration of the Lord, celebrated on August 6

Food for Thought (7/27)

You have an open wound, a sore of sin.  If you loiter on the way, it will utterly destroy you.  Your Physician is experienced.  Show Him your sore, lament with tears at His door, arouse His compassion that He might heal you.

St. Ephraim the Syrian, “A Spiritual Psalter”, from Psalm 72
